I’m a sports fan and love to support St. Louis professional teams. I have season tickets to St. Louis City SC and the St. Louis Blues. I also enjoy off-roading in my Jeep. My sons play lacrosse, and I’ve been very involved with their high school program over the years, including sitting on its board and serving as treasurer.
