Hobbies or Interests

I enjoy watching college athletics, the Titans, the Predators, and high school athletics. I also enjoy playing golf when I get the chance.

Favorite quote and why

There is a quote from the Bible that begins "This one thing I know..." and continues to talk about setting goals and sticking to a plan. This is my favorite because it is the way I try to live my life.
