 On 10/15/2010, I married my soul mate, Jeannine in a simple ceremony on the side of the Columbia River.

 

When I'm not working, I enjoy my life with Jeannine on our 6-acre horse farm in Scappoose.  I also help run (and repair) our 31-unit Riverview Place Apartments in St. Helens that features fantastic views of the columbia River.
