Personal Life

Home life mostly involves me and my wife (Lauren) trying to keep up with our 3 year old son (Cooper) and 10-month old daughter (Olivia). Every now and then they hold still long enough for us to snap a photo (see below for a couple recent favorites). Spare time is dedicated to cooking, exercising, and catching up on some of my favorite TV shows.
