Interests

Growing up in Northern Michigan I truly enjoy the outdoors camping, swimming, boating, & fishing. I am an avid Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, University of Michigan, & Detroit Pistons fan. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my wife Susu, son Jayce, & daughter Kinsely, they never cease to amaze me. Quality time with them usually means a trip to a sporting event or enjoying the beach. When it doesn't, we are perfectly content to hang out at home and entertain friends and family.
