What are your hobbies/interests? My family is everything to me.  I’ve been married to my beautiful wife for over 10 years and have two amazing boys that I love spending time with every single day.  We love going on adventures including camping, hiking, kayaking, gardening and of course doing projects around the house.  I absolutely love showing my boys the wonders this world has to offer and teaching them how to be great.
