More about me

I am a strong Christ follower and happily married to my wife Penny for 31 years. I have one child, a son and a Jack Russell Terrier.

I am eclectic in my interests ranging from politics to making beer.

What else, I love to travel, cook and enjoy sharing the love of Christ with everyone I meet.

I am cofounder of a up and coming internet company http://thetomsawyersystem.com which has lofty ambitions to change the world through social entrepreneurship.

Activities

Hiking, playing with my Jack Russell Terrier, guitar, pool and in the pool. I enjoy going to Church and spending a lot of time with my wife of 30 years. I like to travel to my property in the Turks&Caicos Islands and go scuba diving, fish, and just lay around and walk on the white beaches and explore the caves. I love to talk to my very active mom and dad who are in their seventies. I also spend a lot of time on the internet and run three internet companies. One is all about building communities all over the world. I also enjoy gardening and writing to my friends in Africa where I grew up. I also make my own beer! I have many friends and spend time with them and go to a men's group at my Church. I am strong conservative and a history buff and love to study the Bible.
