Affiliations

During downtime I enjoy a various number of sports including Golf, Pickleball, Basketball, and Soccer. I paint artistically with acrylics, airbrush, oil and automotive. I like to get out and experience nature through hikes, camping and hunting. I volunteer at my church as the production manager for all events related to and including concerts and other performances. I also maintain the coatings on and surrounding the church property by leading a group in a coatings crew. I like to travel and see new places. Sunny summer days you can find me on the open road cruising on my motorcycle.
