OCNWTR BEGAN WITH A 16,000 KM bicycle ride - A “RIDE4WATER”
My route from my 2010 Bicycle ride from Canada to Colombia. It was 3 years after my divorce. I was very lost and trying to make sense of my life.
FOUNDER’S STORY
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. So I did a Doctorate in Public Health with an emphasis in water policy. This laid the foundation for Adventure and good policy.
My ride or die - Maria. We have been together since 2015.
In 2015 I adopted the village of El Palmar in El Salvador and I have served there for 9 years by going in 19 trips during that time.
Make it stand out
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
In 2019 I founded O C N W T R - a small church that began with 3 people in a Jui Jitsui studio on Wednesday Nights in San Clemente CA in May 2019 with Adam Watts and Robert Ramsey and Ivan Snigerov

4. O C N W T R (Jesus & the Bible).
I first came to Jesus a teenager in 1991 through friends, surfing and a bible study. After 3 degrees and a lot of experience I returned to this original thesis in 2019. It took me 28 years to return to where I started - Friends, surfing and a bible study. At 50 years old I feeling very grateful.
MINIMUM ECCLESIOLOGY & MULTIPLICATION
I teach “For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them" (Matthew 18:20). A Church in its simplest and most pure form is “you , your family & friends - with your bibles & food & you give the money to help the poor to have water, food, clothing & houses.” I teach “a few to 40 people” in a church encouraging multiplication as early and as often as possible. We aim to be a catalyst for people to propagate the teachings & lifestyle of Jesus Christ on an Individual Level vs. an Institutional Level.

SELF FUNDED
I am a special education teacher in California. I volunteer my time to O C N W T R.
O C N W T R has no buildings, no budget & no bank account & remains a thriving friend network of Jesus followers.
My goal with O C N W T R is to have differentiated value (no costs) Partnerships (Globally) Transparency (we do not have a bank account, we do not accept contributions, we do not solicit contributions) and Trust (the rarest of earths commodities)
