Bio
While perhaps at times I've had reason to complain, I've overall been really, really lucky. I've worn quite a few hats, and been a part of incredible things. I've made friends, brothers, and sisters who I am humbled to have known, in spite of my being just a regular guy. Proud to be a husband, father, and veteran. Not just proud, but lucky, to be an American.
