I am a husband of 17 years and father to a 14 yr old son who has eclipsed my height as he becomes a phenomenal young man and an 11 year old girl that is so many great things I could write an article in itself about her.

One of my great passions through my church is my work through Samaritan's Purse in Boone North Carolina, a Christian Relief organization started by Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham.
