I created this page to give you a chance to get to know me better. Whether in business or building personal relationships, I believe deeply in the power of human connection—rooted in individualism and principles. I see it as essential to understand both oneself and others.
My travels have taken me across the world, and I am especially fascinated by the stunning architecture found throughout Europe.
Ron Burgundy had it right about San Diego—it’s a gem. I still can’t believe I lived in Southern California for over six years and never played Torrey Pines. At the time, I was in my frisbee golf era…

Golf event in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Blessed to have big hitters on speed dial.
I take pictures when I hike national parks across the U.S. Life can get tough and knock you down, but it’s important to always get back up and stay on the trail. Trust your guide, fear no danger, and you’ll reach your destination.
My friend Travis KIA July 2003 in Iraq. Miss you buddy!

I’ve been to a few cities—and rocked them all. (These days, I’m a lot more tame and wiser than in my younger years...)
