Daniel Glenn HickeyAbout the Author After the quirky blessing of being formed in a family who served creatively as Southern Baptist missionaries in Brazil, Daniel Hickey has had a funky-fun life with four careers that were on the edge of adventure and sometimes fallingright off. He learned early that living between cultures was a lifegiving riot. Following the family lead, after a higher education involving a B.A. in History (Ouachita Baptist University and University of Arkansas) and a Masters of Divinity (Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary), he settled into 20 years of Campus Ministry, most of these at William Jewell College in Liberty, MO. This led to the fortuitous path of founding Transformational Journeys, a Volunteer Mission Travel Company based in Kansas City. T.J. continues to thrive under Director Candace Kaster, hosting trips to Guatemala. His passion for Intercultural Education led to co-founding Brasil Cultura, a Brazilian Cultural presentation company where he enjoyed creating culture shock for Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas audiences with real Samba and Capoeira. After a four year immersion as a Spanish teacher in Arkansas and English teacher in Brazil, he finally made a lifelong passion into a career: Spanish/English and Portuguese/English language interpretation in culturally diverse central Arkansas. Daniel is blessed to be married to Maria Sousa, a native Brazilian and naturalized American who has inspired his current journey as an author. They live in Little Rock with their dog Zeus, and love their international community in the Natural State! They rejoice in being a part of St Michael's Episcopal community in Little Rock, where In the spirit of St. Michael, we seek to vanquish the modern-day dragons of poverty, disease and intolerance.
