Hello, I'm married and dad to two young boys. I live in a suburb just outside of Chicago in the United States. I'd like to think that I am funny, but my wife probably disagrees. I like to run and have run a full marathon and a couple half marathons. My other hobbies include brewing beer, reading (history, sci-fi, fantasy), and gardening. I like to travel and have most recently been to Guatemala and the Philippines. When covid restrictions began I started to learn German and relearn Spanish, but I'm not fluent in either.
