hobbies
Whether its re-lacing old baseball gloves, painting, or woodworking, I enjoy using my mind and my hands to create things. I also have a passion for mission work. I have been around the world from a young age helping people in need. I am currently affiliated with two mission groups- Global Missions of TN and Mission Coffee Company.
Additional Information
I am blessed with a loving wife and have four children aging from 6 to 12. I have spent most of my life working with adults and children in unfortunate situations as a part of my work in missions. As a part of my current job, I have been able to work in several settings including school-based and pediatric services. In both of these instances I have found more joy and have been more fulfilled when working with children. I have been blessed in my life with great mentors and hope to be an influence to the people I encounter on a daily basis. Through my work, I hope to set an example for my children to always be kind, compassionate and to lead with confidence and courage in all that they do.
