"Most of these pictures were taken on trips and vacations over the last few years with my family, though some capture our home and everyday life. As a business traveler, my best trips are the ones where I'm headed home. We moved several times during the pandemic, but I've been fortunate to live in the Ozarks and work from my office in New York since 2023.
We love to visit the beach, avoid the cold, window shop at expensive stores, bake anything sweet, try new foods, ride all the rides, cheer for the Horned Frogs (and soon Arkansas Razorbacks) and spend time with our extended family. When not traveling, our family volunteers each week at our local church, where we invest and serve a vibrant and growing youth ministry. "
