About Me

Name: Ian

Location: Coupeville, WA, United States

I was adopted at a very young age.I have always felt very very fortunate to have had two incredible and truely wonderful people who chose me out of the line up of orphans to take into their home, care for, feed, love, nurture, and give me a ton of really cool free stuff. I'm so glad I am a dad to two wonderful people who I am so proud of. I enjoy traveling spending time with my family and friends, and sharing with them the adventure that is life. I also get a lot back from my work as a volunteer with Medical Teams International. Ive helped support thier mission in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Cambodia, Haiti and will soon be in Libya.

Vietnam: EMS development project

I was in HaiDong in fall 2007 with MTI teaching an EMT class but had lots of trouble with getting computer logistics figured out so therefore no posts on this project. We , (MTI) partnered with the Vietnamese Red Cross chapter in the province east of Hanoi which covers most of one of the worlds most deadly stretches of highway. It leads from Hanoi to Hai Phong Harbor about 80 miles away. It was a great trip and I loved it. As usual the people I met made the trip fantastic and more memorable than I could hope for.....
