Birthplace: Modesto, California (home to Gallo Wines and where American Graffiti was filmed).

Hobbies: I enjoy glamping in our travel trailer. I also like to exercise by doing CrossFit and weight training.

Passion: In order: I love watching my children compete in sports. I love to travel, especially on cruise ships. I watch and cheer for the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Arizona Coyotes (as long as they are NOT playing the Penguins). I really enjoy trying new restaurants to see if there really is a chef out there who can make a better tasting meal than my wife Kristin!

Family Life: I married my wife Kristin in 1989. She is an attorney who practices tax, estate planning, and contract law in addition to being a Judge Pro Tempore for over 15 years. Together we enjoy raising our five children. Katarina attends ASU. She’s earning her Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering, is employed at Boeing, is in Air Force ROTC, and is in flight school for her pilot’s license. Jacqueline attends ASU while pursuing her BSN at The College of Nursing and runs her own photography business. Alexandra & Gabriella attend Casteel High School. Both play competitive soccer on their high school team and at Arizona Arsenal Soccer Club. Anthony attends and plays for Gentry Hockey Academy in St. Paul Minnesota and is on the Dean’s List.
