Welcome to STRIKE MATCH. LIGHT FIRE.

My name is Nick Asolas. For work, I lead a media arts and communication team at Mission Church in Gilbert, AZ where I live with my wife, two sons, and our dog which we inherited. For fun, I redesign this blog, watch soccer, and read. If you want to talk, just email me.
