It’s not always smooth or easy and it certainly isn’t always fun, but our purpose right now is to raise them the best we can and try to set them up to have the best possible life. So far, I’m proud to say I think my wife and I are doing a good job. Your biggest accomplishment in your eyes: My boys and my 20-year marriage to my beautiful wife, Amanda. My father believed in the value of family, work and a meaningful life and is the reason I am who I am today. Having grown up in the Midwest (he’s from Topeka, Kansas), he taught us the importance of education and a strong work ethic. We moved around a lot due to his service but he was always there for us. He served 28+ years in the United States Air Force. Person who has impacted your life the most: My father. Whenever we’re in Tucson, we make it a point to meet family and friends at The Frog and Firkin for pizza and drinks. And tradition meant every Arizona football or basketball game started with pre-game pizza. We went there to celebrate my MBA graduation from Eller Business School. It was really a fun job!įavorite AZ restaurant: The Frog & Firkin in Tucson near the University of Arizona is my family’s favorite restaurant. The bad 80’s music, big hair, clothes and all! The other thing I remember about the McDonald’s job was that I really wanted to work on the grill but they said I’d be better working up front.

I can still remember the two days of new hire VHS training tapes we had to watch for the McDonald’s job. I worked the cart barn at Hidden Lakes Golf Course and front register at McDonald’s. We moved back to the states when I was 16-years-old. I worked at the post office and at the on base gas station. While in England, I lived at the Lakenheath Airforce Base. My Summer jobs consisted of sweeping the floors and washing trucks for the Department of Defense’s Explosive Ordinance Department. While in Turkey, I lived at the Incirlik Airforce Base.
