Plank by plank, nail by nail, Kent Adcock works to make the District of Columbia a safer, healthier and more just city. The 55-year-old serves as the president and chief executive officer of the District’s chapter of Habitat for Humanity, working with volunteers to build houses alongside families in need. Since 1988, D.C. Habitat has built more than 200 homes. Adcock aims to provide 100 more by 2020. He shared with The Washington Examiner thoughts on a faith that calls him to a life of challenge and service.
