Personal Interests:
When I am not at InterPlan you can probably find me in class or studying for a test for my MBA degree. My wife and I moved to Utah from Ohio in 2004. I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, and being outdoors. I also enjoy traveling with my wife Yaruk and son Antonio. Originally from North Carolina, I am a super-fan of Tarheel basketball. I am also a member of Mensa.
