In his spare time, he loves spending time with his wife and two children. He shares, “Whether it is taking a road trip, walking the neighborhood, hiking in National Parks, snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean or having dinner at the dining room table, my favorite thing to do is be with my family.” He is also the Offensive Coordinator for the Chatfield High School football team and is an Amazon Best Selling Author.
