I met my wife Donna on a Saturday morning in the spring of 1981 after a very early softball game at college (I almost ran over her) and we have been inseparable since. We have three adult children (two sons and a daughter) who always make us proud. Six grandkids really take over our thoughts now days, a teenage granddaughter then four boys and then another little girl! Any kind of live sporting event (tailgating too), climbing in a deer blind or hunkering down in a duck blind and I’m good to go. I enjoy being with friends or just going on the next new adventure.
