My Fun
When I'm not playing with my two sons you can find me working on my house, my car, or a painting. I'm a big fan of building and creating things and working with my hands. I like to remain active and enjoy playing virtually any sport. My biggest passion is surfing, and I have embarked on a lifelong mission to travel around the world with my wife and surf.
