Interests

There are many things I enjoy- friends and fellowship, good food, sunny weather, taking in my children's sports and school activities, microbrews, traveling, financial markets theory, great movies and outdoor activities. My clients are a huge part of my life, and I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoy working with them!

Most of all, I love my daughters Skylar, Gabriella, and Lylianah, my son Oliver, my wife Jennifer, and grandchildren Isla and Jay.
