My favorite thing about Arizona…
I’d say I like the diversity in climates. Forests and snow up north, and desert down south. You’re an hour from a completely different experience.
I’m listening to…
country music. Mainly modern country, but a bit of shit-kickin’ classics are also a must.
My family…
is awesome.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Richard Branson. I think his passion for adventure and his business philosophy are amazing. I’d love to learn from the Master.
One thing I cannot live without…
My wife. She is my world and what drives me to be a better person, husband and father.

My life…
is awesome.
