Personal
I am married to an incredible woman without whom I would not be anywhere near who I am today. I am the father of three highly energetic and screamginly diverse boys who fill our days with endless joy (and sometimes concern!). Everything outside of work I do for God and for my family. I am first and foremost a devoted Christian and family man and as such I wear a lot of hats. Right now the ones I’m wearing are Husband / Father, instrumentalist on the worship team a The Lakes Community Church, member of the board of directors and volunteer web developer for Camp Lael, and Scoutmaster for Troop 327 in Farmington Hills.
I love God, my family, the outdoors, sports, computers, music, and am an avid BBQ fanatic with a passion for curing and smoking meats, making sausage, and other forms of charcuterie.
