Lisa and I grew up in Fort Worth. We moved to Thailand in 1996 with our two small children to serve as missionaries. Towering teak trees greeted us 22 years ago when we first moved into northern Thailand. We marveled at Thailand’s innate beauty and at the hospitality of its people. As we studied the language and culture, we became endeared to their way of life. We moved to a province known for its handcrafted teak furniture. With the Chamber of Commerce and other government agencies, we partnered to help local craftsmen develop their quality and connect to international markets. When we realized we needed to return to the States to care for aging parents, Sala Thai was born.
We returned to Benbrook in July 2018 to a nearly completed 377 and a much faster pace of life. But Benbrook still retains its frindly small town charm, helping us feel welcome and at home. We love serving the community and with the Chamber of Commerce.
