Tanya and I have been married for over twenty five years! We have been blessed to be able to serve the Lord as our primary endeavor for the last twelve. Seven of those years in Latin America (Northeastern Mexico for 6 years and Central Costa Rica for a year). We served as construction missionaries and then Directors over the only school for the deaf in our area. Our Daughter, Paschall Grace, was born in Rio Bravo, Tamaulipas, Mexico and lived her first full year there. We encouraged and trained the staff, then handed off all leadership responsibilities to national Mexican Christians before returning to the Southeastern US for seminary at Columbia International University. During each of the summer breaks from Graduate School we drove to Jackson to minister (bi-vocationally) in this beautiful valley. What an amazing blessing to be here full time. We are humbled by God's amazing love and unbelievably perfect timing. What a God we serve, what a Savior!
