PERSONAL PROFILE

I enjoy sharing the details of our lives and making a positive impact, if even for a moment in our busy lives, with a smile or a laugh. I appreciate relationships that are honest, genuine and fair; and seek optimism in experiences that enhance my daily life beyond the financial economy. At my job I strive to connect with the community and be enriched by personable interactions. My hobbies include reading sci-fi or quirky fiction, cooking, camping, hiking, meditating, being outdoors in all weather conditions, discovering new music, organizing and writing. My goals include growing a multi-faceted small business venture, traveling the world, using my artistic abilities, being a great father, and the pursuit of being a published writer.
