Personal

• I live in Wheeling, WV, with my wife, two daughters, and rescue dog. We enjoy traveling and attending various sports events, but our favorites include the Steelers, Notre Dame, WVU, hockey, and women’s basketball and softball. Otherwise, we take advantage of family and friends’ time, the beautiful outdoors of WV, and love trying anything new!
