CURRENT MISSION

learn and laugh

ABOUT ME

we enjoy people. great conversation, dark beer, strong coffee, red wine, and amazing cuisine. everything else is negotiable.

PHILOSOPHY

there is much to discover, much to enjoy. love living life with my best friend and 2 girls. we are fairly reserved in thought. our friends, however, find themselves unencumbered by the standards to which we strive to hold ourselves. we harbor no prejudice against any socioeconomic status or subculture in and of itself.

We have 2 acoustic guitars, mandolin, banjo, djembe, and a trumpet that don't get enough love. We may be a little rusty but would enjoy the music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

we both have a story and have found ourselves united by grace in a marriage that is seeking to wholly love the other. we want our lives to serve a purpose... to live for something bigger than comfort or escape. with the gifts of geology and occupational therapy we dream of bringing clean water and medical skills to third world countries. we hope; therefore, we persevere.

Teach, Learn, Share

cross cultural travelers are my fav, but we are not bias.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We have an extra bedroom and a bathroom. We do, however, have 2 young children. There may be singing. There may be fairy wings. There will be coffee.
