Originally from Chicago, I moved to the Golden area in 2013 with my wife Shannon, and we are currently raising two girls. I recently opened a restaurant on South Golden Road called Blue Pan Pizza. Both of our girls are competitive gymnasts and train at 5280 Gymnastics. We are very passionate regarding animals and have four rescue cats and one rescue dog.
