About Me

I'm a third generation road & street contractor living in the town I grew up in with my wife Stacy and son Lee. I work a lot, but I like to spend my free time playing with them. I try to be a good husband & dad, and I try to be fair and honest with everyone else.I'm a member of Marshall Masonic Lodge #109 in Cottage Grove.I know there are a lot of people on here that I went to school with and have either lost touch with or don't see enough. So if I look like somebody you sat by in your finance class or something, speak up.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Bill Clinton would have to be at the top of the list. Not just one of those cheesy photo op things that they put in the paper of you and your congressman, but some light conversation over a six pack. Stacy's doctor's wife went to high school with him. They still communicate and I think they even had a class reunion at the White House. It was good to know the first person Lee saw when he came into the world was a Democrat.

Dialogue With a 3 Year-Old

Lee is into climbing all over everything these days.  If you are sitting on the couch he will climb all over you, the arm of the couch, back across you, jump off in the floor, etc.  Climbing...

Family Fun

Another Bad First Rounder...
