FAMILY

Our family of five (including our rescue dog) are the pinnacle joys of my life. I treasure being a very involved father of two amazing kids and feeling like I am still dating my wife.

WELLNESS

I am driven by my faith, truly believe in the value of a healthy life-work balance, and in the wellness of body, mind, and spirit.

TRAVEL

I always long to travel, especially a bit off-the-beaten-path, engaging with people, and exploring diverse communities and environments.

ACTIVITIES

I am an avid soccer player and former coach. I am an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys hiking, snowshoeing, camping, and backpacking. I have (according to my family) an annoyingly fast walking speed.

LEADERSHIP

I have extensive local, national, and global leadership experience in areas seeking social and environmental justice, meeting the rights and needs of our world's children, and in various aspects of community development. I am deeply committed to service projects, primarily through my role in Rotary International and in the professional projects I have been honored to produce. Meeting the needs of others is a huge part of what drives me.

MISCELLANY

• I keep a quote book.
• I am in a faith-based online book club with friends from around the world.
• I speak intermediate French.
• I adore classic and foreign cinema.
• I play "campfire" guitar--albeit rather poorly. Still, I enjoy it.
• I do all my own home construction.
• I am not a good swimmer and have a bit of large-water phobia, but I still love boating.
• I am an enthusiastic list-maker (I have tracked every movie my kids have ever watched--for no real actionable reason).
• I am a committed Liverpool Football Club supporter! YNWA
• Dropping bits of "dad-lore" on my kids gives me great pleasure; as does the fact that this generation has a word for it.
