I was trained as an engineer. I am committed to Christian hospitality. I love to develop welcoming and worshiping communities, and I enjoy serving as a mentor for young leaders.

With my beloved bride of 51 years, I reside in Metro Atlanta, Georgia, USA. We have two extraordinary adult children. Like me, they married well. My wife and I are the grandparents of three.

✦ Follower of Jesus ✦ Husband of Elaine
✦ Dad ✦ Papa ✦ Brother ✦ Ambassador

Hobbies? I brew pour-over coffee. I create and curate photo memories with my Olympus PEN-ƒ camera. I journal with my collection of fountain pens. I am an avian photographer, birdwatcher, and novice fly fisherman.
