My favorite four legged friend: Dog-Molly…my parents dog

My #1 piece of advice for planning an event Be Thorough. Go the extra step and be detailed.

Personal Horror Story? I was in an terrible automobile accident in July, 1988. I nearly killed myself. The rehab and road to recovery was interesting to say the least. 3 months in a wheelchair and several casts.
Note: 1984 RX7 does not go well against a ’73 Impala.

Mi Family is: Close. Julie my wife and two boys, Bryce and Justin. We live for each other. Family is number one ALWAYS.

What you love about your job? Interaction with clients and the hotel. Putting all of the details in place and making it happen.

Bad Habit: I have no bad habits. I have vices.

Pet Peeve: “Beating Around the Bush”. Please be direct and sincere. I can’t stand holding a conversation with someone and the person suddenly looks at their phone and checks email or some other item. Hint: This is ANNOYING.

Strangest food I have ever eaten: Rattlesnake

The furtherest I have gone from AZ is: Aruba

Don't tempt me with: Bribes

Cooking, baking or eating out? Cooking

Allergic to? N/A


If you called in “rich” to work what would you do instead?  Honestly, I would consider remaining at work for some time. You have to do something to remain active. I might go down to a part time position, take a more active role with our son’s Football League…hard to tell.

My favorite place on earth is Arizona

Hobbies: Cooking, Youth Football Coaching, Shooting Sports, Yard Work
