Dino Heckermann
Strategic Advisor
My Christian faith is what defines me as a husband and father. My relationship with Jesus Christ directs my purpose in life. I am dedicated to love and cherish my wife, teaching my children to exalt God and love others.
I believe that families are the building blocks of society. Where there is weak leadership in the family, it results in a weak society.
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
