While away from work, friends and family keep me in my happy place. I love being in the great outdoors running, taking trips up north to the cabin, fishing on the lake or just sitting around the campfire. Cooking is also a strong passion of mine and I enjoy the challenge of preparing new entrées on the stove, grill or campfire. I have been married to my beautiful wife for 21 amazing years and we have a 19 year old daughter in her second year of nursing school.

When I’m not at work or working on vehicles, I focus on the care of my smalltown home built in 1876, which is mostly all original.

In addition to time spent at home, my girlfriend and I enjoy outdoor activities including boating, trips to Road America and local races, car shows and festivals.
