My Family
My wife, Emily, and I were married in July 2000. We have six children: Joseph, Benjamin, Kaylana, Jeffrey, Corbin, and Amelia.
Our family enjoys hiking, camping, and reading together. Some of the books we’ve been reading together recently are Lord of the Rings, Sideways Stories from Wayside School, The Sorcerers and their Apprentices, and Science Fair Season.
