He enjoyed camping, playing cards with friends and family, and disc golf during family gatherings. He attended many farm and truck auctions with his buddies and had a true love and passion for farming and raising cattle. Vacationing and travelling with his family meant a lot to him, and he always tried to spend as much time with his children as possible. He watched reruns of Seinfeld every chance he could get. Always mechanically inclined, as a boy he built go-carts and enjoyed tinkering on and riding motorcycles, four-wheelers, and snow mobiles.
