Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:

I married Kristen Whiting-Grant in 1996 and we now live in southern Maine. We have two wonderful, healthy, bright boys, Caleb (5 yo)and Ben (2 yo). Since returning from Peace Corps I have mostly worked with nonprofit organizations (volunteer coordinator, events planner, fundraiser, and executive director, and private consultant). Right now I am Resource Developer at a nonprofit community development organization in Lawrence, MA.

Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:

Peace Corps was, for me, a great, impossible, life-changing experience; but, for me anyway, it doesn't beat being a dad.

Any message for returned volunteers?:

Come visit!
