I'm employed with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a Refuge Manager since 1992. My wife Tammy and I have 2 kids, Carson and Erin.

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

It was a great experience! If I hadn't drank so many Salva Vidas I probably would remember more than I do...

Anyone you are looking for or would like to hear from?:

I'd love to hear from all of the RPCVs I served with, especially those that I knew by way of the Peace Corps house in Santa Rosa de Copan.
