About Me

My Photo
Name:
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.

Lybya: Fight For Freedom




Hi friends.


Heading to Libya on August 3rd. Just after beginning of Ramadan. I'll will be travelling as a member of Medical Teams International first disaster response team activation to support the "rebels" fight for freedom and help with the ongoing humanitarian disaster. We will be partnering with another NGO called International Medical Corps who have had a presence in country since Febuary. We will be doing primary emergency medical care of those civilians and "volunteer" fighters injured by the troops loyal to Muamar Qudafi, and probably some training and teaching along the way. I'm not sure what ability I will have to regularly post to this blog but will when I get a chance. I'll try to give a little first hand look at history being made by those who long for a taste of freedom. First stop after a 20 plus hour boat ride from Malta, (off the Souther Italy coast line), will be Musrata. It is the 3rd largest city in Libya and has been under siege by government forces.
