Currently I have a wife and two children whom I love and adore. On our spare time from work and school we love traveling the Pacific Northwest, seeing the beach, museums, national forests and outdoor wildlife. I currently own my one home where I practice woodworking, carpentry, and landscaping. I enjoy playing golf, shooting firearms with friends, and playing the guitar. I also love backpacking and fishing with friends each summer.
