When I’m not enjoying the silence of meditation early in the morning with a cup of coffee and the Word, I enjoy running (sometimes long distances), playing disc golf, and fishing with my father-in-law.

However, my favorite hobby is spending quality time with my lovely wife, Brittany, and our family! We enjoy board games, culinary adventures, travel expeditions, spending time with friends. When we have time to veg out we enjoy TV entertainment from shows like The Office, LOST, and Agents of Shield.

Last but certainly first, our favorite sports team is University of Kentucky Basketball!!!
