Personal Highlights
I have 3 children ranging from my son who is 23, and my 2 daughters who are 11 and 5. My free time is spent with them doing cool stuff like fishing, swimming, ball games, movies, and theme parks. I like to play golf and be outside as much as possible in the spring, summer, and fall. The largest fish I ever caught was a 36 lbs. Flathead and that beast came out of the Ohio river and was chasing a Chicken Nugget from Mc D’s. True story. It’s great to be back at HOA JIS-EP.

My girlfriend Danielle and I love to spend time in our newly purchased home, hanging out with friends and playing with our cat. I also enjoy listening to and playing music whenever I get the chance, and I will of course always appreciate a good movie or a good video game time and again. After battling heart problems and having successful Aortic Heart Valve Replacement surgery recently, it is extremely rewarding to have a great family and to have a role on our Executive Team.
