I'm a husband and father to two beautiful girls and we have a dog named Penny.

As a child, whenever anyone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, my reply was always "I want to be a mountain-man". Since no one knew exactly what that meant, they had to ask. Naturally, I would tell them that it was someone that loves to be in the mountains with great survival skills.

That dream ultimately lead me to become a Marine, which definitely gave me the survival skills I was looking for. Our love for the outdoors took us from the DC area with a move to Colorado to be closer to the mountains. I wake up grateful everyday to have a view of the Rockies and know that I can be in the mountains within an hour.

We look forward to working with you.
