Industries/Services:
Get to know me:
Do you sing in the car?
Yes, but not well…just ask my wife and kids.
Favorite food(s)?
A good beef, elk or bison steak with a loaded baked potato.
What is the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten?
Probably frog legs…tastes like fish, NOT chicken.
What is your greatest fear?
Disappointing those people that count on me.
Who’s someone you admire and why?
My parents. Neither graduated from college, but both worked hard to make a good life for themselves.
Flashback to when you were 10 years old. What do you want to be when you grow up?
I wanted to be a professional athlete. Specifically a golfer or football player. I soon found out football was very physically demanding and painful (when a big guy hits a little guy), but I pursued golf through high school and college…still enjoy competing today.
