[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.

So in July 2010 I was back in New Orleans for a conference, and I took a little time to grab shots of Canal Street in the CBD and a couple down New Orleans Avenue in Mid-City. You can definitely see progress downtown, and it looks like a lot of the roadwork is being done in Mid-City, just as it’s very extensive in Gentilly. The sign on the Saenger Theatre says it’ll be open in 2011- a sign things are slowly getting better.
