A father of 3, he enjoys reading the comments sections of the Bring a Trailer website, reading mysteries, trying not to watch the news, spending time with his children when they allow it, Kansas Jayhawks basketball, and doing anything involving his lovely wife who he has been told is much, much more attractive than him.
