About Me

This is what I tell myself every day....I am a family man first. Honesty always is the best policy. I do what I say. I treat others as I want to be treated. I finish what I start. I have respect for others. I am proactive. I take care of my own. I can raise the bar. I choose the best idea even when it's not my own. I will not compromise my morals. I seek to build up others. I have a plan. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.These are some things I know...I love Erin. Luke and Josie are my blessings from God. If you don't work you don't eat. Laughter is medicine to the soul. Music is a gift.
