SERVICE
Since my youth, I have found Integrity, Honesty, Hard Work and Serving Others to be key elements of my core character. Strong moral values where installed in me at an early age by my grandparents and parents who believed in God, Country and Family. We have spent our lives in various areas of service based on God's love for us and our love for Him.

Shelby Farms BMX 2012
As our son was briefly into BMX riding, the track we attended, needed a fresh look and online presence. I created a quick logo, website, and a few promotional items to help them get the word out about their local track and invite new riders. We have long since moved on, but I believe it's been maintained and made even better since our time there. this link maybe still be active ...

Sycamore View Church of Christ 1994 - 2016
My wife and I first attended SVCC as young marrieds and left as our kids were leaving high school. Over those 22 years, we were VERY active, from organizing church library (actual books), to church camp, to helping create a brand new Children's Ministry (see Family Factory & ChristLED). We helped organize and went on several medical mission trips to Zambia (see Zambia Project, Insightful Ministry, Mapepe Mission), taught classes, organized retreats and led workshops. We had a very strong Young Marrieds group that went on to lead a strong Children's Ministry program.
