Favorite Activities
Philippines	I have had the privilege to take place in 6 Short Term Missions trips to the beautiful Islands of the Philippines where I performed what I call Occupational Discipleship. Occupational Discipleship is simply teaching and performing my Electrical Trade and Abilities with the Filipino people and then sharing my Faith in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I also worked directly with full term missionaries on priority projects.
Mexico	I have participated with two electrical related missions projects in Mexico and provided electrical materials towards the development of Christian Churches.
Brazil	Brazil is another country that my Son Matthew and I participated with where we had the opportunity to work with local missionaries.
Space Camp	My love for space and aviation has been nurtured with trips to the NASA Facility in Florida, but one of my best memories was when my Son Matthew and I spent several days at Space Camp where we were able to participate in Mock Space Shuttle Missions in a full size simulator, Wow - was that ever fun! And of course, while we were there I checked out all the electrical wiring that it takes to make all the flight systems work. Wiring a house is a piece of cake compared to that - Cool Stuff, I Love It!
Habitat For Humanity	I really enjoy participating with local building projects organized through Habitat For Humanity. I sincerely encourage you to consider taking part in a project in your local area. It's a lot of fun, you meet great people and the effort helps provide affordable housing for a deserving family.
