A Little More About Emery:
Outside of work, I enjoy taking long road trips with my wife and family. Exploring different places, meeting new people, and diving into new cultural experiences is what I love the most. I also enjoy sports such as cricket, soccer, baseball (especially the Atlanta Braves), and football.
I also have a passion for helping community leaders come together for the sake of the Kingdom of God, which keeps them grounded and inspired.
