When traveling around Texas, I am in pursuit of the best beaches, brisket, and breakfast tacos.

My career trek has allowed me to explore beautiful wetlands and other elaborate ecosystems across the Gulf of Mexico and beyond; while stewarding the land does not always follow a direct path, it is a privilege to have a small role contributing to the cycles of our natural places and the wild animals that scurry along (see Genesis 1:26).

My Great Pyrenees, Rex, and Dogo Argentino, Valerie, enjoy a walk around the Eastern Glades.
