I was born and raised on the East coast of the U.S. I received both a bachelors and masters degree in Geology and currently work as a geologist in the oil and gas industry. While in graduate school in Texas, I met and married (20 years) my wife Wendy; we have two boys, aged 15 and 11. Throughout my career I have worked and/or lived on 4 different continent and observed that despite all the variations culture, the presence of family is a consistent indicator of stability and happiness. 

I have a passion for everything sports and the beach. I enjoy coaching both my boys' baseball teams and we escape to sandy places whenever time allows. I am a devoted follower of Jesus Christ and an active member in my local church. I currently serve on our church council, teach Sunday School to 4th-6th graders and serve as a leader in our Men's Ministry. I also have a passion for disaster response and recovery. I servce on the board of a local non-profit dedicated to helping those affected by disaster across the Southern U.S. In all of this, my hope is my boys understand what we giveto others will be returned to us many times over, in ways we cannot even yet imagine. 

Why Suit Up and be a Champion?
"Joining the Suit Up Movement was an easy choice. If men are not acting like DAD’s, then who is? Who is setting the example and helping guide our children in their walk through life? If not us, the answer is too often no one and that is a sobering thought."

I have been married to a wonderful woman for 13 years and I am a father to three kids, ages 4, 6, and 9.  I enjoy fishing, running, and most sports (playing and watching).  I am an active member of my church and have a passion for mission work, both local and abroad.  I am dedicated to becoming a better Christian, husband, and father… and golfer!  I fail often, but intentionally surround myself with others who can pick me up.  I have an engineering degree from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) and an MBA from Rice.  I have spent my entire career in the chemicals industry, starting out in R&D, but spending the last 10 years in various commercial roles.  I was born and raised in Jacksonville, FL, spent 4 years in South Carolina, and have lived in the Houston area since 2007.
