I'm a St. Louis Cardinals fan.

I enjoy chess and was once ranked among the top young players in my state (that sounds more impressive than it was; I wasn't a prodigy by any means). These days, I mostly play online at Chess.com.

I enjoy classic movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood. It's hard to beat Gregory Peck, Cary Grant, and Jimmy Stewart!

I'm a Christian, a husband, and a father. Relationships matter, and these are the most important ones in my life.

Finishing on a lighter note, my wife and I own four different types of coffee makers, none of which require electricity (French press, Chemex, cold brew, and Aeropress). I don't like to say I'm a coffee snob, but . . .  :-)
