Family

My mother was a single parent to two boys.  It was very hard to participate in after school activities because of my mom's work schedule.  At 11 a friend of mine invited me to a Boy Scout meeting, and the rest is history. 

Upon graduation from high school, I set my sights on attending college at Southeast Missouri State University.  I was very involved on campus and took part in various activities.  I joined Alpha Phi Omega, a co-ed service fraternity and spent 4 years in leadership positions ranging from Scouting Chair to President.  It is there where I met my wife Christina (Chrissy) from my 2 best friends who I worked Camp Staff with as a youth.  We have been married for 20 years.

​

Chrissy is an educator.  She taught 8th grade for 10 years while we were in St. Louis, 2 years at the Jackson School District in Southeast Missouri teaching 5th and 6th grade, and the last 4.5 years teaching 7th Grade ELA at the Unit 7 School District in Tolono, Illinois.  Chrissy is the best mother any father would want for their children.  She enjoys running, cooking, and spending time with our children.

God blessed us with 3 great children.  Jack who is 14, is a Life Scout.  He is a straight A student who enjoys Football, Soccer, Scouting, and gaming.  Levi who is 11, is a Tenderfoot Scout, enjoys reading, anything STEM related, and playing with anything electronic.  Molly who is 9, thinks she runs our household.  She enjoys creating anything, playing any sport, and socializing with friends.
