His humanitarian service has been recognized with the U.S. Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, the Royal Order of Cambodia medal, and eight Cambodian Sthapana Cheat gold medals.

His published and forthcoming work includes the legal treatise Nonprofit Stewards: Governance, Fiduciary Duty, and Accountability in Tax-Exempt Organizations, the memoirs The Road to Kitgum: A Memoir of Cambodia, Uganda, and the Search for a Child Lost to War and Where the Red Earth Broke: A Memoir of Cambodia, Mercy, and the Cost of Rescue, and numerous legal and scholarly articles.
