Family, Church, Coaching, Hunting, College Sports
As a husband and a father of 4. I spend the majority of my free time with my family. We try to be active in our family's church. And coaching whichever activity my children are playing at the time. We also enjoy going to to and watching all Arkansas college sports as a family. Then about 2 weekends a year I will try and make sure to get to spend some time with my father in law going in hunting.
