ABOUT ME

Here’s a little more about me.

I’ve been married to my wife for more than 12 years—my first and only marriage, and something I’m proud of. We have four kids.

I love CrossFit and compete locally with my wife. I also coach and hold my CrossFit Level 1 certification.

We live in Priceville, a small community in North Alabama just south of Huntsville. I can look out my front door and see farmland, and I love it.
