Personal
I live in Apex, NC with my wife Colleen, and my 2 kids, Jordan and Megan.
Between family life, work at Cisco (which tends not to be a 40 hour per week job), classes at State and trying to sleep occasionally, you would think I'd have enough to fill my time. For some reason I can't get myself to stop there...

|
I run Carolina Foosball (www.carolinafoosball.com ) with
weekly and monthly tournaments held at Mojo's Billiards & Pub in Apex.
|
|
|
I also love outdoor activities, but those have been cut to cycling a little bit during the week and an
occasional weekend hike in the woods with the family.
