Personal

 

I recently relocated back to my home state of Pennsylvania to live in beautiful Lancaster, after living in The South for 10+ years. I am married and have two incredible kids and two dogs.

 

I enjoy spending much of my time outdoors and in nature, working on my home, landscaping, and spending time with family.  Some of my passions are being a gear-head and working on my 92' Miata, 12' WRX, and 17' Wrangler. I also enjoy building and restoring furniture, I grew up playing the sport of lacrosse and have been involved with playing or coaching for 14+ years.
