Golf, Traveling, and Community Serving
Enjoy playing golf for the challenge and risk/reward aspect. Met and played with some great people while golfing. Its a great outlet! My wife and I have placed a priority on travel. With our children at our side, we wanted to introduce them to cultures, language, and experiences to prepare them for their futures. The world is so internationally connected that its important to really understand. We have successfully seen the seven continents of the world. I have served in my community my entire adult life from community associations, volunteer my time with NPO's and church committees. To effect any change and make a difference you need to be involved. Scouting as a young man instilled that in me as I attained the Boy Scouts highest award, Eagle Scout in 1982.
