Dad to a beautiful little girl named Lucy and husband to my lovely wife Katie. We live in the Rockville/Olney area outside of Washington, D.C., in Montgomery County, Md. We're first-time homeowners, so I finally have a little shop in the garage and we're trying to do a lot ourselves. By day, I work in public and government relations on behalf of soybean farmers, but after work and on the weekends, I am getting back to the DIY that I grew up with. Working with my hands helps me destress and I love what it produces around the house and the yard.
