I have been married to my wife, Michelle, for 16 glorious years.
My daughter, Payton, is a Sophomore at SJO and my son, Tanner is in the 8th grade at St. Joseph Middle School.
I am from a small, rural IL community of Herscher.
We moved to St. Joseph 11 years ago and have never regretted it.
Through the years I have been fortunate to help coach Basketball, Baseball, Softball and Soccer teams in and around the St. Joseph Community.
Unfortunately my wife and son are Cardinal fans; however, my daughter and I are the smart ones in the family and we Love the CUBS!
 I once was employed by the Chicago Bears as an Intern Athletic Trainer.
I have only suffered 1 broken bone in my 43 years; however, the 1 I broke (Femur) happens to be the largest bone in your body.
I would eat ice cream every day of the year if I could.
The best part of my job is being able to help people through difficult times.
