His wife Stacey and their 2 kids all enjoy the outdoors and are a jeep family with many extended families they've grown to know through the club. He's the guy to lead fellow jeepers on overlanding trips throughout Oregon while still playing at the dunes, up in the snow or just driving around in the woods. He is GM of Papa's Pizza in Springfield & loves working on events for our community, which is what drew him to the McKenzie Jeepers when it first started.
