My work life carries over into home life: I have a machine shop at home. I own a mill, lathe, TIG and MIG welders, plasma cutter, as well as all manner of hand tools. I enjoy working on project cars and motorcycles.
My wife and I like to travel. Typically, we'll take one big trip (Hawai/Mexico/New York) per year, but we'll also take the occasional weekend trip camping, or going to Las Vegas, or exploring different parts of Arizona.
Lisa and I have been married since May of 2012. We don't have any children, but we do have dogs. We always rescue or adopt.
