Bio:
When I’m not at work, I’m usually dancing while cooking and cleaning at home or tinkering in the shop.
I love building things that are not only useful but also creative and fun. Friends and family are the center of my life and I’m known for hosting taco nights featuring my highly requested homemade salsa. As a 6 foot-fabulous gay man, I believe life’s best moments are made through creativity, authentic connection, and a good lout and proud dance party!

I am a proud, lifelong Oregonian and Bendite. I feel very fortunate to be able to live here and raise my kids in this great place. I have a lifelong love of working hard and doing good for our community. My kids and my husband are my life and I am so proud of each of them and their unique personalities. In my personal time, I enjoy getting outside for a good hike, making a great meal for the family or curling up on the couch for a great movie!

1. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I would buy an island. And, you know, keep working at 3rd Street Beverage.

I was born and raised in the great Pacific Northwest, from Bellingham WA, to Longview WA, Vancouver WA, Portland OR and finally found my home here in Bend Oregon in 1994.

I LIKE BEER TOO......

1. Cats or Dogs? Dogs, but only Ernie!
2. The most important thing I learned before high school was to work hard and try to be a good person to all.

I was born and raised in Cottage Grove, Oregon. I was fortunate to spend some great years on the East Coast and abroad in my younger years.
