Without her, I'd be lost. My wife, Holland, and I have been married for 5 years and together for 10, and we still aren't sick of each other 😜. We've been through thick and thin and have learned to grow and love each other more every day.
I absolutely LOVE my family time. Nothing recharges my battery quicker than some quality family time ❤️
I love my hobbies, but more than anything, I love to travel. This was my first time surfing in Hawaii. Not-so-fun fact: right after this photo was taken, I fell off the board, and it smacked me in the face, resulting in me needing 10 stitches in my lip.
