My Family
My family is what is most important to me.
My wife, Michelle, works at US Bank, as a Branch Manager. She was born and raised in Osmond, NE. She is a graduate of Briar Cliff University in Sioux City, IA. In her free time, Michelle loves to bake. She bakes and sells specialty cakes, cupcakes, and other baked goods. She also loves to decorate and be with family.
My kids, Alexander, 13, loves baseball, playing video games, and hanging with friends. My daughter, Zoey, 7, loves all things rainbow colored, especially unicorns! She's a very spunky redhead!
Our new addition to the family is our Holland Lops bunny, Luna!
