What makes me tick
The most important thing for me is my family. I have a beautiful and supportive wife, a fast growing 7 year old, a mini me 3 year old and a fur baby, golden retriever.
Other than family, I have a fascination with Technology and am regularly reviewing what is new into the industry, as well as available as a consumer.
I am a big sports fan, where I will watch nearly any sport I can, with a devotion to football, basketball and american football.
I also love the big screen (and the little one), seeing new and old movies or shows. Being a Marvel fan in particular helps bring out the inner child and imagination.
