A Bit About My Personal Life

I grew up in Iowa (Cedar Rapids) and attended a small liberal arts university, Upper Iowa, where I became active in a variety of school activities and proposed to my future wife.

My family now consists of five: my wonderfully supportive wife, Deanna, two beautiful daughters, Jenna (my oldest) and Alyssa, and our australian shepherd, Jazz.

My hobbies outside of the university generally revolve around my family, but I also enjoy woodworking and anything outdoors when I get a chance.
