Outside of work I enjoy traveling with my wife and two kids. Out favorite place to visit is Southwest Florida, specifically Fort Myers and Sanibel Island. We spend out time relaxing on the beach looking for shells and enjoying the water and weather.  I am a big Minnesota sports fan and each year I try to be a part of as many Fantasy Football leagues as possible.
