Story
My family live in Illinois in the Chicago-land area. I am the oldest of four children with two brothers and a sister. Additionally, I have a brother-in-law and a sister-in-law. I grew up in a Christian family and came to know the Lord at a young age. I went into Civil Engineering to be able to work with Architects on building design. Working in consulting engineering after college gave me the desire to use my vocation to serve people and to serve the church – shortly after that I found eMi. Since that time I must say it has been incredible to see the various parts and people of the body of Christ throughout India and South Asia – it has been such a blessing to be a small part of His purpose in these nations. In 2007 I married Ivy Ng, an Architect from Hong Kong and my eMi² co-worker of nearly 4 years. This has given me a whole new perspective on God’s purpose in bringing Ivy and I to India and the goodness of His plan for us.
Verses to Live By
Jeremiah 9: 23-24
This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom, or the strong man boast of his strength, or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, Who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD.
Lamentations 3:21-26
Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him. The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
Professional Training and Experience
B.S. C.E. with high honors & Structural Engineering emphasis IIT [Illinois Institute of Technology], Chicago, USA (1998) Before joining eMi², I worked for three years in a small engineering consulting firm in a suburb of Chicago, which was focused on structural engineering for educational and commercial facilities. eMi² service has taken me all over India and to many other countries in this region such as: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Indonesia. I am fluent and literate in Hindi and passably so in Urdu and have got some basics in Cantonese (Ivy's mother tongue). I have led over 30 project trips plus many other work or office trips for many types of projects and ministries.
