About me

Location North Carolina
Introduction Land transportation is vital for missionaries worldwide. With thirty years experience in the automotive business I provide exceptional service to our missionaries. As Automotive Supervisor I manage the repair of JAARS Center and Wycliffe members’ vehicles. Trips to the Philippines and Ethiopia have helped me assess and address transportation needs overseas. I provide help via the internet and satellite phone to those working in overseas assignments, as well as teach four-wheel drive maintenance and driving to new missionaries. Kathy is a Registered Nurse but serves in a variety of roles to assist me, particularly with the overseas correspondence, personal correspondence, and our website. She is also assisting me by writing updated technical manuals that address overseas training. Several mechanics have worked with me to update their skills before returning to overseas assignments. After years of prayer and recruitment, the Lord has blessed me with an Office Manager and another mechanic. Two more mechanics are raising support. I plan on making another overseas trip for training purposes. We have married daughters, Katie and Karen (25, 23) and a son, Sean (20).
