CURRENT MISSION

To Love God, Love People, enjoy His creation...impact the world...tell others about the undying love of Jesus....

ABOUT ME

I am originally from Chattanooga, TN, where I've lived most of my life. I attended college near Chattanooga, and also went to Graduate School in North Carolina. in 2005-6 I worked at a non-profit organization in Albania, and had a great experience! I love life, people, my Savior Jesus, and serving others....It's not about me, it's about Jesus!

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live by Jesus' words "do unto others as you would have them do to you." That seems to typify how we should view others, as more important than ourselves...a friendship waiting to emerge, not a person to serve our needs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the privilege of traveling to Russia in 1992 very soon after Communism collapsed, and witnessed the spiritual hunger of an entire people who were devoid of truth, God, food, basic infrastructure..and now these people thrive, as they hunger for God, have one of the strongest economies in the world, etc.

I also was part of a relief project in NYC, one month after 9/11. This was one of the most humbling, and rewarding trips of my life. I will never forget it.

I got to work at non-profit foundations in Albania from 2005-6, and fell in love with the people of Albania.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teachers should be the first to realize that there is so much that they have to learn, and sharing this truth with others would benefit us all : )
