Originally from Wisconsin, I was able to see much of the world during my time on the USS Coral Sea while in the Navy. I moved to Texas in 1994 and have lived in Austin, Brenham, and Houston before settling in Freeport in early 2018. My wife, Bridgett, and I made the move to the coastal area after becoming empty nesters. Between us, we have three kids at Texas A&M and one living the military life via the Army. We have two dogs still living at home.
When not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors. I volunteer with the Galveston Historical Foundation as a crewmember on the 1877 Tall Ship ELISSA. ELISSA is docked at the Texas Seaport Museum at Pier 21 in Galveston. Though ELISSA is open daily for tours, she is not just a historic artifact, she sets sail annually for a two-week day sail series. I am a qualified high climber enjoying the privilege of venturing to ELISSA’s full height of 99 feet 9 inches at the main mast.
