About Me
I live by a philosophy of life long learning and self-improvement. The most impactful time in my life is when I traveled through Latin America where my world view was significantly broadened. There I learned to speak Spanish fluently and, more importantly, where I met my amazing wife who is from Cusco, Peru. We have four beautiful children and three happy dogs. As a family we value being connected with each other through the sharing and encouragement of our hopes and dreams and our achievements and joys, as well as sticking together through tough times. I am mesmerized with the game theory and game of Poker and enchanted with playing the Native American and other world flutes. Recently I have become reacquainted with Astronomy by exploring the stars with my wife and children.
