Other interests: Traveling with my family to find and see new places -nothing like doing what you love with your children; I love food, especially anything with bacon; I am a diehard U of M fan, just ask my wife -I'm not a happy camper when they lose.

1) Married with three awesome kids!  My wife is awesome too.
2)Can't go without mentioning that I really do love bacon, a lot!
3) Trying my hardest to run a promotional products company from home along with working at the best place ever.....here at Bill & Paul's.
