Introduction I am a Husband, a Dad, an endurance athlete, and the Director of operations and Development for the Euphrates Institute. Euphrates believes that healing the divide between the West and the Middle East in the post-9/11 era can only be achieved through educating Americans to know more about the Middle East, and then taking grassroots actions that will create the broad-based foundation of support needed for policy changes towards the region. Our goal is to Inform, Inspire and Transform. So please join me and my travels through training for, and racing in, some of the countries most grueling kayak races as well as helping America Prepare for Peace!
