    in my free time I like to
    Aside from exercising and watching sports, I love to spend quality time with my daughters Harper and Madilyn. They are my ‘why’ for everything in life, so I soak in every second I can spend with them. Setting a good example and being a positive influence for them is incredibly important to me and I love to include them in my life as much as I can.
