I am married to Jennifer and have 2 wonderful children Alexis (age 7) and Alan (age 5).  For the last 8 years I have been actively involved in organizing wheelchair collections around the USA.  I coordinate volunteers from all around the country, get new volunteers involved, instruct them in collecting wheelchairs, and help them conduct wheelchair drives in their local communities.  I coordinate shipping of wheelchairs from the collection sites to our refurbishing center in Iowa. I also get to go into the third world countries and give away a few of these wheelchairs that I helped collect all year.  I enjoy being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to a disabled child, to love the forgotten group of people known as the "disabled poor".  Over the last 8 years I have overseen the collections of over 10,000 wheelchairs and mobility aids. I have a great interest to pursue deeper community development with the disabled. I desire to see the total impact of a community; body, mind, and soul. And I feel that through Push International, in cooperation with your help we can do that.
To date I have been blessed to work personally in Brazil, Argentina, El Salvador, Afghanistan, Ghana Africa, and many times in Mexico.
