In 2010 I rode my bicycle over 16,000 kilometers thru 10 countries from Canada to Colombia. As I traveled I learned that people didn’t have clean drinking water in certain parts of the world. In 2015 I adopted the village of El Palmar in El Salvador. Over the next 9 years from 2015-2024 I took over 200 people on 19 different trips to discover how to best solve this problem. In 2019 I founded O C N W T R - a local church that began with 3 people at Fight Strong Jui Jitsui studio on Wednesday Nights in San Clemente CA in May 2019. Since that time we helped start 47 other churches in 7 countries that disciple about 1500 people and have produced 75,000+ liters of water I have traveled to 42 countries and 40 US States - hold a B.A. in Religious Studies, an M.A. in Counseling & a Doctorate in Public Health Policy. I work as a Special Education teacher in the public school system in California. I am a volunteer at O C N W T R and teach this podcast as a way to give back what I have learned. Love and Blessings.
