Previously a real estate investor and developer, Alan founded Trilogy Development and the Lynxs Group, which developed Austin’s airport cargo facility and similar facilities at airports around the country.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:8pt; margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-top:0in"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="background:white"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt"><span style="color:#020202">In 1998, the seed for the idea of Mobile Loaves & Fishes had been placed on Alan’s heart. He and four friends boldly answered God’s call to “love your neighbor” by delivering meals to homeless men and women from the back of a green minivan. Alan readily admits that the group’s original approach for serving the homeless had some flaws, but with the help of a formerly homeless man, Houston Flake, they perfected the model that Mobile Loaves & Fishes successfully uses today. Since its founding, MLF volunteers have served more than 5 million meals with a side of hope to homeless men and women living on the streets of Austin, and the organization has spawned similar food truck ministries in other cities across the U.S.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:8pt; margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-top:0in"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="background:white"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt"><span style="color:#020202">Alan also is the lead visionary behind MLF’s Community First! Village—a 51-acre master planned development in northeast Austin that provides affordable, permanent housing and a supportive community for men and women coming out of chronic homelessness.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:8pt; margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-top:0in"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="background:white"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt"><span style="color:#020202">Alan and his wife, Tricia, were married in September 1984 and have four children of their own, as well as a niece they’ve been blessed to raise and include in their family. Alan is a published author of the book <em>Welcome Home<span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt; padding:0in">less</span>: One Man’s Journey of Discovering the Meaning of Home</em>. He also is the host of the Gospel Con Carne podcast, which explores the woundedness of society through untold stories of individuals who have encountered homelessness.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:8pt; margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-top:0in"> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
