After 28 years in the corporate world, Dennis retired to pursue God's true calling on his life and became Executive Director of Eyes On Me, Inc. He has been married to Sally for more than three decades and has three children. As much as he enjoys the great outdoors, running, and reading (especially the Bible), Dennis' passion is sharing the gospel with others. He finds Barnabas fulfilling because it allows Christians to bridge the gap between the corporate world that is full of resources and the poverty-stricken world where resources are desperately needed.
