Ever had one of those days where a gazelle strolls through the middle of class? What about a zebra checking you out while your Land Cruiser is stuck on the back side of the training base?
I have enjoyed teaching in Nairobi and love the people that I've interacted with while building lasting relationships in Kenya.

This picture was taken on the westernmost tip of Africa with a great group of friends and co-workers with whom I have traveled the globe.
Dakar, Senegal, was a location that I never dreamed I would want to go to but that I miss every time I think about being there.

There is so much to say about Morocco. From the coastal cities of Tangiers, Rabat, and Casablanca to the beauty of the deserts surrounding Marrakesh, I have loved all of It. This picture was taken at the Roman ruins outside of Fez.
Morocco was my first venture outside of the United States, and the guys at the 5th Engineering Brigade out of Kenitra will always hold a special place for me.
