Hobbies
I try to take full advantage of Michigan's great outdoors. I am a member of the Golf Association of Michigan and am fortunate to golf year round, regardless of the temperature. When not at work or on the golf course I also enjoy the family's hunting property, planting fields, scouting, trimming lanes and of course hunting.
