Me as a Person
I am curious and open-minded, enjoying friendly bets and challenges. Talk about cooking, and I will have an opinion—and might even have the skills. I am always willing to help friends and family, whether in the garden or with business cases. My greatest joy is spending time with my lovely wife, son, and daughter. I spent much of my youth traveling when I had the time, which has given me a curious approach to everything and many stories to tell.
