Below you will find not only work history, but also personal experiences. I have been lucky to have experienced a number of adventures in life. One very important thing I have learned is the amazing results we can achieve by simply saying "yes I will try" and then doing our best job. By living through these experiences, I have gained knowledge and skills that I continue to use to further my personal skills and explore the world around us.

Married in 2012, my amazing wife and I have had the greatest pleasure of raising our two kids. Although I can say that there are always hard new challenges, it has been the greatest and most rewarding part of my life. They not only are talented and smart, but they are a complete blast to go on all of life's adventures with.
There are a number of extra activities I enjoy. One is my interest in aviation. I have a number of logged Pilot in Command hours that I hope to one day to continue my journey in aviation. Another hobby is playing paintball that requires endurance and tactical skills that I always have a blast playing with when playing with family and friends. Finally is just being outdoors in general. I enjoy going camping and hiking with the occasional white water rafting trip during the summer months and some snow boarding during the winter when I can.
