a little about me

Hobbies and Interests

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, spending Saturdays tailgating University of Oklahoma home football games, and dominating my fantasy football league.

I have a much better half, Sarah, whom I married on Friday the 13th for good luck. Together we have a son, Blake, and 2 beautiful, adopted children – Blu and Riley.
