Hobbies and Interests
My hobbies include volunteering my time to the Kansas City Disc Golf Club. We are a not-for-profit entity. I have sat on the Board of Directors for the last 10 years.

The budget for this event is $123,000, which we raise from sponsorships and fundraising. We help to get Disc Golf courses installed in parks for charities around KC. I also spend time helping to clean up the local parks. I enjoy working with my hands an learning new trades.
