About Me
I focus my time on:
Life is short and time passes quickly. What better way to describe “about” me than describe where I spend most of my time.
Being A Dad
I am the proud father of a 6 (going on 16) year old, 3 year old twins (one has wings), and 4th angel.
Engineer
For work, I assist on a variety of government and industry supported acoustics / vibrations type projects. I do this for a variety of companies through consulting as well as part time efforts.
Being A Husband
Life was kind enough to put Andrea in my path. Not only is she a brilliant physician, but she works hard (sometimes daily!) to make me a better person.
Side Projects
Whether it’s working on the house/boat, trying new things with my buddy Newbs, or tinkering in the garage, I have always been a master at keeping busy with side projects

It's important to listen
"We have good conversations when we are more focused on what the other person is saying rather than what we're saying. Music is the same way."
