Personal
In my free time I love to watch football and soccer, love to play golf, and am a big time foodie who's into wine. I also enjoy working out and walking around my small town of Lambertville. Single, but I love kids, and always try to get away to see my sister's children who live in Athens, OH. My nephew Alden, and my niece, Moxie, are both incredible little humans.
