Personal

Outside of work, I can be found spending time with my wife, Sam. I enjoy the adventures that living in the Black Hills offers – hiking, sightseeing, camping, and four wheeling. I’m an avid backpacker and trout fisherman with multiple trips to Yellowstone National Park and the Bighorns. Recently, I surprised my dad with a week of backpacking in Shenandoah National Park as I attempt to complete the entire Appalachian Trail.
