There are several things I love about my life and the successes I’ve had, but the most important is my relationship with my wife Maria of 30 years and being a father to my son, Adam.
Professionally I do many things, but my chosen profession is nursing. It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up, so I ventured down many different career paths over the years, some I continue to pursue part-time, but my most fulfilling calling is nursing.
It boils down to one simple thing: I enjoy helping people. Whether it’s coaching my son and his team with baseball or helping patient’s family members deal with a terminal illness or injury in the ICU, one of my strongest traits is supporting others in times of need.
I am an avid outdoorsman. I enjoy most activities that get me into the wilderness including fishing, mountain biking, skiing, diving, travel, and target shooting, but I’ve also recently discovered an affinity for cooking and the experimentation that goes along with it. Working with my hands is in my genetic makeup, which has translated into a love for extensive home remodeling. My wife and I enjoy working together to turn a house into our home.
As someone who is goal oriented and driven, I view challenges as bumps in the road on the journey to accomplishment.
