About Me
I am 49 years old, married for 28 years to my very beautiful and patient wife Teresa. I have three children; Brittaney (27), Jacob (24) and Trent (13). I am a Christian and have full faith in my God and Savior! I thoroughly enjoy my Christian family Gulf Coast Church of Christ in Fort Myers, Florida. I am a sports enthusiast! I have played and/or coached baseball, softball, football, basketball, volleyball, racquetball, golf, and tennis. I love learning, especially history and biblical. I would really like to learn to speak Spanish fluently and learn to practice Tai Chi proficiently.
