How would you describe yourself? I am always on the move looking for new adventures to enjoy with the family. Raising a son and a daughter bring next level enjoyment to each and every day living in the 501. Rain or shine I’m focused on making the most out of each and every day.

Hobbies/special interests? I love going hiking at Petit Jean, playing basketball with my son and a good long run through Tucker Trail. 

Most enjoyed weekend activity? I love to get the entire family out on the water cruising Lake Hamilton looking at the lake homes. My wife grew up driving boats on the water so I can relax with her as the captain.
