Fun Facts
I’m a big car guy. Since 2009, I’ve owned 11 different cars, including one I kept for just a week and another for four years.
I’ve traveled through 34 states, 68% of the country and counting.
My favorite travel experience so far has been Thailand—the food, the culture, the mountain and ocean views, and an unforgettable visit to an elephant sanctuary. I’d go back in a heartbeat.
