Spending time with family, music, sports, cooking

I have been Blessed with a beautiful wife and 3 small children (Armani 11, Gracie & Zoey 10). I have loved music all of my life from easy listening, to rock & roll and lately the new christen music.

 I was a basketball player and still love to play and shoot around with friends and family. I have umpired from women's fast pitch to USSSA and little league.

I enjoy cooking and creating healthy and great tasting meals for my friends and family.
