My Favorite Things

What I like...

Church — We love our church, and unless there's a very good reason, you'll find us there on Sunday mornings.
Family — I'm a family guy, what can I say. My wife, son, brother, parents are pretty much the most important people in my world to me.
Friends — We're quite the social creatures, having several big parties a year. Between those and monthly game nights at the Nenn's, and every other excuse we can find to have or attend a party, we're always up to something fun.
Kids — I love kids, even moreso now that I'm about to be a daddy. But they typically find me big and scary, so.....
Tasty Vitals — I love to eat. Me and food go way back. Check out some of the restaurants I love below.
Working Out — After having consumed much tastiness, I am in need of much exercise to not become much larger. To that end, I've loved my gym membership, and have been getting more into riding my bike. It's almost like I enjoy being outside. Just don't tell anyone!
Gaming — I'm big into video games, board games, strategy games, card games, you name it. Great way to enjoy time with friends.
TV and Movies — Faith and I love to veg out in front of a movie or our favorite TV shows. I guess I'm kinda a home body.

The Nerdery — My office is here. My computers are here. My gaming tables are here. 'Nuff said.
The East Lobby at Church — Between services and serving, I love to sit in the east lobby with a latte, watch people, think and pray.
The Gym — Me time on a bike, the elipticals, or the weight machines.
Local Restaurants — I love to meet people for meals and just hang out.
