Personal Bio:

I can stop talking in third person about myself now right? I have to do the professional bio that way because it shows up in articles about me etc.  Hope you understand.

As parents of five my wife Andrea and I stay very busy with family activities. When I have free time I love to play basketball or catch a movie by myself after the kiddos are sleeping. Andrea and I try to get a date night in at least every couple weeks though – I love those best of all!

My personal walk with Christ is foremost in all my day to day affairs. It is a life journey that directs my every decision.

Three of our kiddos are from international adoptions. We are also active in assisting other families through the decision making process of international adoption.  We’ve become close friends with many families that have chosen to expand their own families through adoption.

We are also homeschooling parents who hold a high regard for non-traditional approaches to education.

We aren’t afraid to travel as a family and do so more often than anyone else we know with this many kids! You might find us in some crazy location raising our kids some day. When you combine the flexibility of homeschooling and having an Internet based business you can do just about whatever you want whenever you want. We enjoy the flexibility of the Internet Lifestyle.

Our Family Mission:

As a family we have committed our lives to helping others find their true calling and passion that we believe is placed in each person by God. We want to model “other oriented” thinking in every area of our lives.

My Business Mission:

I am committed to staying sharp, up to date, and creative in my pursuit of business and marketing excellence. I try to model transparency, integrity, creativity, genuine relationships, and leadership to the best of my ability.  I direct my business and personal clients towards the most effective online and traditional business and marketing strategies in order to help them achieve the greatest success possible.
