I am a happily married father of a daughter, and General Manager of a retirement community professionally. My audio passions include my highly modified Klipsch Forte speakers and any audio project that requires DIY and my electronics skill and attention.

My other hobbies include running/triathlons, hiking with our dog, and relaxing at home.
