After the work is done, I'm a proud husband of almost 20 years. I have a beautiful and patient wife and 2 amazing daughters. They keep me busy with soccer and gymnastics. Back in my college days, I competed in both soccer and track and field.
Since my retirement from the Sheriff's department, I've found myself being a Class V whitewater rafting guide, Canyoneering guide, SCUBA certified, a member of the local Search and Rescue team and racing mountain bikes all over the world including a 2 year-stint in South Korea chasing other cyclists near the DMZ.
I do my best locally to give back to the community as a Board Member for the local soccer club, where I help as the Director of Goalkeepers. I also coach for the local high school girls soccer team as well, where some day my girls will join. I love sharing these adventures with my family and inspiring the next generation.
