DYNAMITE SINCE:

April 2016

Most Likely To:

… be accused of pranks that he did not commit.

Likes:

Family, motorcycles, cigars, red wine, hunting, shooting, soccer, whiskey and bourbon, and the great outdoors. 

Dislikes:

Rain. Cold weather with no snow.  Loose cigar wrappers.  Hardcoded numbers in Excel where a formula would be much better.  

Interesting Fact:

I hate clapping along to a song, because of that awkward moment halfway through it when the clapping kind of dies off and you are not sure if you should keep clapping, or just stop.

Quarantine Advice:

Give grace and room for everyone’s perspective on restrictions and safety measures, and be patient and considerate whenever you can.
