FAMILY

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

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

My soul always longs to travel, especially a bit off-the-beaten-path engaging with people and exploring diverse environments.

ACTIVITIES

I am an avid soccer player and former youth coach. I am an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys hiking, snowshoeing, camping, and backpacking. I would usually rather walk than drive.

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 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 have played acoustic guitar since college. And, yet, I remain a rather poor player. But it gives me happiness and solace.
• I enjoy doing all my own home fixes and remodeling.
• I am not a good swimmer and have a bit of large-water phobia, but I still love being on boats.
• I am an enthusiastic list-maker (I have tracked every movie my kids have ever watched--for no real actionable reason).
• I keep a quote book.
• 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.
