[Just Call Me Joe]

I'm a graduate of the University of Mobile and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. I left New Orleans in 2008, spent a year in Fort Worth, Texas, then moved back to Mobile.

I like people, but bad things happen all the time. I want to help people in the world's poorest and hungriest countries learn ways to become more sustainable. Agricultural, architectural, and environmental education and higher standards reduce the effects of inevitable disasters. If we really love people, this is something that needs to happen to save lives.

I currently serve the Mobile area as an AmeriCorps VISTA with the Alabama Gulf Coast Chapter of the American Red Cross. As always, the opinions I state on my blog are personal and do not represent the American Red Cross or any organization with which I am affiliated.

Feel free to check out my resumé.

My friends Dave and Ashley are getting married this weekend. To each other. A couple weeks ago we held Dave’s bachelor party.

After the game we all went back to his parents’ house, donned the sumo suits, and proceeded to have a throwdown. The following pictures document the debauchery.

First Pitch 1 I didn’t get a very good shot of the first pitch. I need to check my auto focus next time. First Pitch 2
