THE MOST TREASURED THING I OWN

My home office. With a wife and three daughters, it’s shelter from the chaos.

ONE PIECE OF ADVICE

Be intentional. Do the hard work of considering what you want and thinking through your legacy. Then get a plan in place to execute on it.

HOBBIES

I consider myself to be a people person. There is nothing I enjoy more than spending time with the people I love, traveling with friends and family, and eating some great food! You’ll also see me out running around the neighborhood and hitting some balls on the golf course.
