One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I built two custom fiberglass vans in my college and grad days. http://www.geocities.ws/phoenix0002/ is my second one from the same plans. My son posted this on Reddit and got it to #3 all-time in the Old School Cool sub-Reddit.

Teach, Learn, Share

I show how to gain prosperity for the purpose of being generous. I teach a man to fish, so he is fed for a lifetime. It share methods for missionaries to become financially independent so they can pursue their passion.

We rent to many international visitors in our home by the semester since they are usually students. We've had many Chinese, one Turkey, one Ivory Coast, one Argentina, one Czech Rep, and after that I lose track. It has enriched our domestic experience, especially for our sons.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a financial education instructor, I will reveal key financial success principles over dinner at a nice restaurant, and share my Indiana/Texas resident history.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Italy, Mexico
