[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.

A view of downtown Mobile from the north| April 3, 2010

Last Saturday my friend Justin, his family, and I drove around Mobile trying to capture the sights of the city. We spent most of our time in Old Mobile- on Old Shell Road, in downtown, and along Government Street. Among the many stops was the on my old high school’s campus, where I grabbed the gorgeous azalea photo below. This time of year you can see brilliant pink and white azaleas all over the city, which is why Mobile is the only real Azalea City.
