I'm a dad, brother, and loyal friend—someone who wears many hats, including that of a dedicated business owner and warm-hearted host. With a deep love for animals, especially rescue dogs, I found my perfect companion in Pyro, a spirited black lab who’s always by my side. Back in high school, my favorite song was Take the Highway, a tune that still brings back memories of freedom and possibility. Whether at work, with family, or among friends, my life is grounded in connection, compassion, and the simple joys that make every day meaningful.
