I am passionate about sports and the outdoors. I enjoy soccer, football, lacrosse, shooting guns and taking long walks. I have spent time in Germany as a foreign exchange student.

I am extremely passionate about making people happy, I think that is the reason I was put on this earth. It is important that I make all guests/customers feel welcome and make sure they are eager to return.
