Personal Profile

I am a Christian disciple, husband, son, preacher, elder, and theologian (in that order). An extrovert who relishes coffee and conversation, enjoys playing badminton, soccer, golf, table tennis, and volleyball. I have a growing library that threatens to overwhelm my house, and value friendship, faithfulness, and fun. My wife Odele and I enjoy walks on the beach, movies, theatre, listening to music, hospitality, travel, and critical discussions on any topic that happens to come up. We also enjoy our young daughter, Sydney and son, Liam. I enjoy family, friends, and church. I am an ordained Baptist minister. Balance is important to me: balance in spiritual, physical, and mental components of life. I am passionate...about everything. I love, I laugh, I cry, I enjoy. I have a positive personality and seek to get the most out of this God-given life that I can.
