About Me

My wife, Stephanie, and I are property managers of 5 Airbnb properties on the amazing island of Utila, Honduras. We have lived in Honduras for 5 years working with orphaned kids and teaching ESL.

I love adventure, teaching, running, leather projects, photography, exploring, hiking, and traveling.

Stephanie is amazing. She is also a teacher, counselor, and cosmetologist. She loves creative projects, photography, traveling, yoga, and all things healthy. She is a great Mom to two young adults.

We've celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary backpacking Europe to 8 countries and loved it. We just visited Spain, Portugal, Madeira, and Morocco and enjoyed an amazing camel trek and night out in the Sahara. We met some great people along the way...you know who you are..and we are looking forward to your visit to Honduras.

We have 2 kids: Zack, who is married to Grace and they live in Boston, MA. Our daughter is Ally, and she is married to Mario, and together they are traveling to 34 countries in Europe in 2019. They are all the best kids we could ever want.

We're passionate about helping others and try to live life to the fullest. We welcome anyone in our home.
