About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To do as the Romans do...wherever that is.

ABOUT ME

My wife, Sarah, and I met and dated in high school.....eventually married 4 years ago after a very long ellipsis. We are adventurous, yet pretty laid-back I would say in our traveling, preferring conversation over clubbing...but, we'll try anything twice I suppose. We like to laugh at jokes and be inspired creatively. We like to think deeply about everything in life. We like being married to each other.

PHILOSOPHY

We love God and people. Believe that each person's uniqueness has so much to offer to everyone else.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a summer teaching in the slums of the Dominican Republic.

Teach, Learn, Share

We want to be influencial to the world with whatever we have to offer...but at the same time, believe that each person matters and can impart something to us. But, quite simply, just having a great travel experience with a local host sounds like a great time.
