The Urban Amish Show

urban amish = modern ideas + traditional values 

Having grown up in an Amish family and community, I wasn't exposed to modern technology the same way my peers were. I had a strong curiosity though, and always wanted to know what was on the other side of the fence. 

When the internet came about, I would find ways to go online at every possible opportunity. I needed a username for the various online services and chatrooms I began to explore, and I wanted to choose a name that wasn't just gibberish - but a name I identified with. My plain roots and my endless curiosity about the modern and cosmopolitan seemed to blend nicely in the screen name 'urbanamish'. And so it has been. 

Urbanamish goes back more than two decades, and I've been some form of Urban Amish ever since. 

Welcome to The Urban Amish Show! 

We're going to talk about things in an honest and engaging way, and hopefully, try to make sense of things. I'm glad you're here!
