a complex, authentic man, whose faith and hope make me purposeful, directed and accepting. I am dedicated to the healthy, holistic development of youth and in bringing them hope through acceptance and empowerment. I am a person that finds great joy in authentic relationships, that learns a great deal through taking risks and that believes that cooking and sharing a great meal can be very therapeutic.
