I enjoy road trips across America with the goal of visiting every one of the nation’s national parks and every one of Ohio’s 88 county seats.

Avid Traveler
Grandma’s Best Friend
My Grandma still lives in Hamilton, Ohio. We enjoy taking rides to cities and towns across southwest Ohio, cooking together and baking cookies.
Farmer
I grew up on a farm with cows, chickens, and a huge vegetable garden. Values of hard work, determination, and the value of a dollar forever remain a part of me.
