I met my wonderful wife, Elizabeth, in 2003, and we were married in 2005. Together, we’ve built a life centered around family, laughter, and shared experiences. We welcomed our daughter, Mallory, in 2006, and our son, Patrick, in 2008. We’re also proud dog lovers to our two energetic (and slightly crazy) mixed breeds, Frank and Sweet Dee.

Elizabeth is a CPA with Breakthrough T1D. She’s also an avid runner who has completed numerous races over the years, including the Toronto Waterfront Marathon and the Shippey 100-Mile Trail Relay. During her daily runs, she often pauses to capture beautiful nature photography on her phone—including the train track image featured on this homepage. Many of her photos have been framed and sold, and can be found displayed in local St. Charles businesses.

Mallory currently attends the University of Missouri (Mizzou), where she is studying psychology. After graduation, she plans to open a private practice focused on substance abuse therapy. She is one of the funniest people I know and has a natural ability to make anyone smile.

Patrick is passionate about hockey, playing for both his high school varsity team and the St. Louis Sting Hockey Club. He plans to continue playing at the collegiate level. Outside the rink, Patrick has a strong interest in cars—especially German sports cars and supercars—and enjoys spending his time working on and modifying his own vehicle.

When we’re not at the hockey rink, we love spending time together traveling, playing board games, going for drives, watching movies, and simply making each other laugh. Like most families with young adults, busy schedules and digital distractions can make time together rare—which is why Elizabeth and I truly cherish those moments when we can all be together.
