Hobbies/What you do for fun:
I enjoy working, and I really enjoy playing (work hard – play hard)! Any opportunity I have, I love being on the water with friends and family. I enjoy exposing our kids to the coastal lifestyle, and teaching them about sea life and how to fish. I love college football and attending Gator games whenever I get the chance. The weekends are for rejuvenating the mind, body and soul. No better way to do that than by spending time with my wife and our kids, our friends, and enjoying our time together as much as possible!
