精东影业

Professionally, I enjoy exploring and studying God’s creation with students to develop improved practices to tend and keep the earth. My greatest interest is in developing, protecting and managing our precious water resources; locally, regionally and internationally.

Personally, my family enjoys hiking and exploring God’s creation in the western U.S. national parks. I especially enjoy water; sailing lakes in Minnesota, kayaking the Outer Banks in North Carolina, and canoeing down our local rivers in Indiana and Michigan. I also love to ride my bike around town and to work every day.
