We met while serving/working with Mercy Ships and we later married on November 5th, 2006 not to far from the Mercy Ships International Operations Center in East Texas.

Mercy Ships is a global charity, that has operated hospital ships in developing nations since 1978. Following the example of Jesus, Mercy Ships brings hope and healing to the forgotten poor, mobilizing people and resources worldwide, and serving all people without regard for race, gender or religion.

In January 2009 we completed our commitment working in West Africa as volunteer staff/crew with Mercy Ships aboard their newest ship the Africa Mercy. The world’s largest Charity (non-government) hospital ship!

Tyrone was working as a Chef/Galley Manager in the galley (kitchen). The Africa Mercy has a berth capacity for 484 crew. Imagine feeding over 400 crew members and hosting special functions while on outreach in developing nations.

Stephanie was working as a Registered Nurse. The Africa Mercy includes six state of the art operating theaters, intensive care, and ward bed space for up to 78 patients. In addition to the patients there is also the care of the Africa Mercy’s 400+ volunteer crew to think about.

Sad to leave, but excited to move ahead, we left to pursue new goals in our married life.

Nowadays we are residing/integrating in Northern California. Stephanie is working as a Registered Nurse and enjoying catching up with old friends. Tyrone has gone back to working in the Beverage industry and transforming his new kitchen into a ‘food lab’. We still love to pursue short term mission and charity work in our spare time and are visiting/attending a church we really like.

We recently found out that Stephanie is pregnant and we will be having a boy!

Life is good! God is great! Bon Appetit!
