If you had not chosen your current profession, what profession would you choose and why?

I would be an entrepreneur. I have always wanted to start my own business, create something from nothing and have my hands in all aspects of a business.

Favorite vacation:

My wife, three kids and I took a trip to Arizona and Colorado in Spring 2019.  In five days, I played golf at TPC Scottsdale, skied the East Wall of Arapahoe Basin, hiked along the Grand Canyon and explored the red rocks of Sedona, all while spending time with close friends and family.

When I want to relax, I …:

Head to a wrestling practice. I wrestled in college and have coached in various capacities since then. I have always been able to put aside any stress going on in my life once I walk into a wrestling room, giving my full attention to helping others achieve their goals, improving my own technique and competing at a high level.

Favorite music:

My music interest is all over the place, so it would depend on the genre and my mood.  Eminem, Alan Jackson, Frank Sinatra and Breaking Benjamin all get a lot of air time on my Pandora app.

Favorite quotation:

“Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” — C.S. Lewis
