Life Before Pickleball
I was in the U.S. Marine Corps and also spent some time working in Corporate America in Business Development. I’ve also written 2 children’s books with my son titled Through the Eyes of Om.
Personal Heroes
To me, a personal hero is someone that I can continue to measure myself against when it comes to the character of a person. And definitely my mom (inner strength) and dad (social interactions) are at the top of the list. But other than my parents, I would say Marcus Aurelius because of his philosophy on life…not just his success as a ruler or warrior.
Favorite Pump-Up Song(s)
“The Boss” by James Brown
Favorite Food(s)
I’m a big fan of trying out new foods, but give me some sushi any day of the week! Or some World Class Chocolate from Baskin Robbins!
