I support WorldOregon because I believe that the more we learn about each other across all nationalities, cultures, and races, the better the future will be for all of us. 

Some causes I support: The Northwest Sarcoma Foundation - my son was diagnosed at 17 with sarcoma and currently is "cancer-free." 

A favorite place to be: When not travelling anywhere internationally, relaxing on the Oregon Coast. 

I am most proud of being a father to my son, Jakob and my daughter, Lindsey as well as a husband to my wife, Jeanette.
