Born in Alabama, I lived in Indiana for eleven years, Oklahoma for eight, studied at George Fox University in Newberg, and now call Beaverton, Oregon my home.

I am motivated by the process of continuous learning, and inspired by results made possible through competence, enthusiasm, and persistence. I believe life is assessed by what individuals gave their lives to, how they managed influence to impact others, and what they created with the time given to them.
