Interests

My wife, Holly and our three children, Megan, Ryan and Grace, love discovering the world we live in. We have introduced our children to traveling the world and discovering new cultures.

I enjoy exercising and running. I have completed a marathon, a few triathalons and several 5K races. As our children have gotten older, I enjoy doing these races with them.

I enjoy photography and sharing pictures with family and friends.

I love being outdoors.

I enjoy all the seasons by hiking, snowshoeing, skiing and scuba diving.

Holly and I enjoy working with and hosting Rotary Youth Exchange Students.

I am a huge Virginia Tech fan.
