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.

Family time is an important aspect of my life where it is spent either bowling, watching movies and even trying out new & different restaurants around the area. However, what we love to do most is going on vacations especially ones where we can travel out of the country.
Brock Hammon
Assistant Director

Personal Highlights
I love cooking. Most people I know in this industry say this but never bring in any cooking. But I’m always willing to throw down on a cooking showdown. LETS DO IT. Any cuisine anywhere. I love riding motorcycles, going on long road trips. And musical instruments I can play 13. I’m a jack of all trades but a master of none. And my pursuit to try all kinds of foods and cuisines is still on going. Bucket list trip is to spend a week in Italy learning how to cook pasta traditionally and making 100 gallons of fresh tomato sauce with a lady as old as time itself teaching me.
