God has truly blessed me by bringing some truly wonderful people into my life, from a great family to my team in France, and from my everyday buddies to dedicated mentors and teachers.

I can't mention everybody, but I will mention a few people - they deserve it, and anybody wanting to understand me needs to hear about them!

First, there is my wonderful wife, Sarah. We met in law school at the University of Chicago (of all places) and married in 2007.

I also have a great family, consisting of two parents and two younger sisters. Click here to learn more about them.


My family: Meredith, my mom and dad, me, and Annie. Taken July 4, 2001.

I also have lots of great friends, from literally all over the world. One of the biggest groups is a goofy - but wonderful - bunch of 72 others with whom I spent ten weeks in Florida in 1999, on the PCB '99 summer project. Another group is my STINT team from 2001-2002 (you know who you are - I had to take out names and pictures!). A wonderful group and second family, they helped me make it through a hard year.

The one other person I'll mention on this page is Darin Maurer, my college discipler and mentor. He's been on the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ for years, now, and holds a Th.M. from DTS. A real example of a godly man, he taught me more than I can tell about the Christian life. Thanks, Darin.
