Interests

The first thing that I look forward to is spending time with my family - wife Amy, children Mia(15) and Dylan(6), and our dog Roxy(Australian Shepherd).

As a family we enjoy traveling to the beach, good music, sporting events, as well as time spent with our extended family and friends. When it comes to sports, we all have a competitive gene that is hard to contain!

I'm a dedicated Wall Street Journal and CNBC fan - helps fuel my admiration of the capital markets and investments.

I really enjoy being active, so you can find me working out at Good Shepard in Barrington on a regular basis, Mountain Biking, and Snowboarding.
