Hobbies and Interests
During my free time I love to stay in shape by running outdoors! I have completed a couple of half marathons, a full marathon, a 50 km and 50-mile ultra-marathon as well. I also thoroughly enjoy spending time with my wife Jessica and our two dogs Patsy (an Australian Cattle Dog) and Oliver (a mini–Australian Shepherd). Lastly, I enjoy reading books on leadership, strategy, tactics, history, and education. My favorite book would have to be Never Finished by David Goggins.
