Married my wife, Tisha in 1998. We were blessed with twins (Cameron and Cailynn) in 2003. We still live in St. Joseph, Michigan where I continue work as a project manager and my wife works as a special education teacher. Our children are in college. Cameron is studying finance and accounting while Cailynn is studying kinesiology while playing soccer for the University of Illinois.
