Family
My beautiful wife Margie and I have been blessed with five great kids who are all now adults. We love being grandparents and our life is filled to overflowing as we continue to make family a top priority. Visiting our children wherever they land is high on our list.

My perfect day away from the office starts with a good game of golf and ends with time well spent at the family cabin – enjoying the company and reading.
