Throughout my career, I have actively balanced my professional pursuits with civic involvement, including service on the Rutledge Youth Foundation’s Board of Directors, the Youth Philanthropists Steering Committee for the Sangamon County Community Foundation, the Finance Committee and the Board of Directors for Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County, the Advisory Council of Brother James Court, the Board of Directors for the Illinois Baptist State Association, and leadership in my local church.. I reside in Springfield with my wonderful wife, Michelle, who is a nurse with a home health agency, and I have two children: daughter, Bailey, and son, Cole. In my free time I love spending time with my family and pursuing musical interests. I can play the piano, guitar and euphonium. I'm currently learning to play the violin along with my daughter.
