I enjoy camping with family and friends, taking short trips to decompress and regroup. I have been married for 26 years and 4 children and 4 grandchildren. I enjoy watching sports especially Football, Basketball and Baseball. If I had a choice to be anywhere, I would be in a river somewhere floating around on a tube living my best life.
