I was born June 6, 1971 in the small town of Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin. My mother’s name is Sharon and she’s a wonderful cook. My father Tom has caught the golf bug and loves to watch the Golf Channel. I’m the youngest of three children. I have a brother Jeff and sister Tanya who both live in Fond Du Lac. Our Family moved around a lot the first twelve years of my life. Our family has lived in Wisconsin, Arizona, Massachusetts, California and Florida. I have always been fascinated with aviation so I loved when my dad would take me to the airport or and air show. I attended High School in Sarasota and Graduated from Riverview in 1989. I attended college at University of Central Florida and graduated with a bachelor degree in Finance in 1994. I also earned my private pilots license in 1994 and spent a lot of time flying around central Florida. For six years I worked in finance then decided to return to school. In 2003 I graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a Bachelor’s degree in Avionic Technology. Currently I work as an Applications Engineer in Honeywell’s Aerospace division.

When I’m not working I enjoy spending time on our boat. Kelli and I love taking our friends out and cursing the water ways or picnicking on an island for the day. I also love open wheel racing and attend 2 races per year. Oh yeah there’s nothing like play off hockey. Kelli and I love the Tampa Bay Lightning and attend as many games as possible.
