Personal

I met my beautiful wife, Sally, while attending Midland. We were married in August of 2004 and she finished her Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree. God has blessed us with two amazing boys! Will in December of 2009 and Sean on Valentine’s Day of 2012. We enjoy spending time at my parent’s lake home west of Fremont throughout the summer. Will and Sean are excited to learn how to ski and wakeboard like Dad. We love to travel, especially to Florida to see Sally’s family. Our boys are involved in basketball, soccer, baseball and swimming. During the winter months, I enjoy Upland Game and Waterfowl hunting with our vizsla, Splash. The boys can’t wait for their chance to join me in the field!

Sally and I also enjoy giving back to our community. We have been able to support Alex’s Lemonade Stand, The Salvation Army, Night for Sight and Bike for Sight, Children’s Hospital, Outlook Nebraska and others through our church. We feel blessed and hope to help more in the future.
