World Pet Travel began in 1998 when sending 2 pups to Haiti to God's Littlest Angel (orphanage for abandoned children) to train as security dogs. After that move, we knew our calling was to assist families moving personal pets because of job transfers, lifestyle changes or really any reason so they didn't have to leave their loved ones behind.

Now 21 years later, World Pet Travel has 5 offices in 4 countries and agents in every airport around the world. We have been blessed to prosper in a field that is close to our heart!

I love Rockwall; the Downtown, the Harbor and food scene are blessings, but the people make this place home. Working with local non-profits like Helping Hands, Meals on Wheels Senior Services and Kiwanis Club connects me with great volunteers and those in need. I enjoy working with the Rockwall Chamber of Commerce, the City of Rockwall and the Downtown Rockwall Association to help our community keep its small, family friendly atmosphere alive. My wife Marinda and three kids love the Texas sunshine and southern hospitality. After college, I went to Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, Wisconsin to finish my formal eight years of training to become a pastor. I graduated WLS in May 2016 with a Master of Divinity degree and was assigned to Divine Peace Church Rockwall.

I'm a graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington with a degree in Communications Technology and have worked in the digital marketing world since 2004. In 2005 my wife and I moved to Rockwall and don't plan to ever leave. We have three children and enjoy the community that is Rockwall. I've worked with a wide range of businesses and in various industries of business. From the small mom-and-pop businesses to larger fortune 500 companies, the effort and the quality are the same.

I also have a fair amount of experience in the non-profit world and currently server on several non-profit boards. My wife and I have been on several international mission trips, mostly to Africa and plan to continue as time and kids allow.
