I lived in Brazil for the first time when I was 19. At that time I spent 2 years in the central part of the country. It was a life changing experience. Ever since then I have loved the Brazilian people and culture. My research centers around Brazilian families.

In 2003 my wife and I took our 2 daughters to lived in Porto Alegre where we lived for a year. Two years after we returned from Brazil we adopted our son Isaac. Two years ago my oldest daughter, then 14 yrs old, spent 3 months in Porto Alegre with some of our friends. Needless to say, the Hollist family is rooted in Brazil.
