- What did you want to be when you grew up? Army officer, specifically a tank commander. I got that opportunity but realized I liked being a “light fighter,†so I transferred to reconnaissance scout.
- What is your favorite way to spend free time? I love hanging out with my daughter. She keeps me young, and I enjoy watching her grow.
- What was your favorite vacation? I got the opportunity to play the Old Course in Scotland in 2022 as part of my father-in-law’s bucket list. I shot my best round that day while playing with COVID!
