About Me

  • About Me: Husband to Kelly, Father to Eli and Owen. I fill my time by chasing after God, spending time with family/friends, going out on the boat, watching baseball/football, working in the yard, sitting on the deck, and creating new dinner entrees.(balsamic vinegar is my friend!) To enhance my enjoy ment of life, I will add music to and any situation and moment. I love a good movie, a good book (not as often though), spending time with others, and a good sodoku to help me sleep at night.
