Personal Points of Interest:
I have been working in the student activities field for over 10 years now..wow, where has the time gone? When I'm not here at Mines, I like to hang out with family and friends.  My wife, Andrea, and I recently had our first child, Noa Mae, so we are enjoying watching her grow up and enjoying being new parents.  Additionally, getting out in the Colorado outdoors is a favorite as there is so much hiking, mountain biking, and camping to do here. I also enjoy sports. Soccer, golf, running, and volleyball are the sports I like to play. However, hockey is my favorite to watch. Go Avalanche!

Personal Points of Interest: I'm originally from Southern California and grew up 10 miles from Huntington Beach and Seal Beach!  My claim to fame was my first job at age 18-I was employed by Disneyland where I worked in Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and at Country Bear Jamboree!  Our yearly bonus included a pack of A-E tickets (if you don't know what that is you are too young to remember!)!

My hobbies are reading, sewing, camping, and traveling.  But most importantly are my extraordinary grandkids-they come before all other interests!
