Family and anything recreational
My wife of 18 years and I have 4 daughters who are competitive softball players so majority of our time is spend with that. In our downtime we enjoy time with each other playing chess, video games, board games, workout together and look forward to annual vacation travels with jet ski's. We enjoy cold weather as much as warm weather and are enjoying life to it's fullest.
We are also volunteers through the olathe and Spring Hill communities advocating for those with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, the elderly, and anyone who is in need of a friend.
