Personal
My wife, Laura, and I have six children who reveal to us the opportunities of an abundant life. Being a part of a big family teaches me all kinds of meaningful lessons, the most important of which is the value of a loving home. We are passionate about family and have a deep desire for all children to be a part of a loving family, regardless of circumstance.
