Interests

Family is everything to me. My wife Sarah and I have been blessed with two beautiful children, Ezra & Ellie. We also have our fur baby, Cecil. In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors, especially at the lake. I also enjoy traveling, hiking, fishing, hunting and just hanging around the house with my family.
