I love spending time with my wife and 3 sons whom I coach in football, baseball, and basketball. I also enjoy hunting with family and friends. I'm an avid bowhunter, coon hunter, water fowler, and upland game bird hunter.
I am also very active in the community. I attend Ottawa Bible Church; I am a member and Past Master of Anchor Lodge 224 of Williamsburg, Kansas; I am the former West Franklin Recreation Commission President and Williamsburg ball director; a member and past Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce; a member of the Ottawa/Franklin County Economic Development Corporation; a member of Ducks Unlimited, the National Wild Turkey Federation; and serve as a committee member of the Flint Hills Chapter of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation in Emporia, Kansas.
