Hobbies:

  • Throughout my life there have been two constants, family and sports.  Below you will find out why and how they remain a big part of my life today:
  • Family
  • There is nothing more important to me than my family, especially my son Grayson.  He is a 4-year-old who makes me smile and laugh even on the worst days.  I am very lucky and thankful to have such a supportive and caring family.
  • Golf
  • If it was possible, I would golf every day of my life.  I stand by the saying, “playing a bad round of golf beats not playing any day of the week.” 
  • Soccer
  • I am a volunteer assistant coach for the Schuylkill Haven High School Boys Soccer Team – (2008 – Present)
  • I participate on a men’s soccer team at Game Face Sports Complex in Reading, PA during the winter months.
  • Baseball/Softball
  • I have played the game of baseball my entire life.  I grew up with a glove on one hand and a ball in the other.
  • I continue to play ball by participating on a men’s fast-pitch softball team during the spring and summer months.
