I grew up in Toledo, Ohio. Spending most of my time on the lakes in Michigan. I am a proficient slalom water skier and just about any watersports. I love boating as well as four wheeling. My two passions are Krav Maga and motorcycles. I have a wonderful fiancé named Shawn and two adult daughters from my previous marriage.

I have been an entrepreneur my entire adult life. I started a small distribution company in Toledo, Oh. I had one man, one office/warehouse and a bookkeeper. When the run was over it was 28 years later and I had touched nearly every part of business. My internal business knowledge is real world and extensive; Including but not limited to logistics, accounting, finance, foreign X, warehouse management, inventory management, marketing, product development at home and abroad.
