He was an avid surfer and was sponsored by Atlantic Beach Surf Shop in local competitions. He grew up on the Trent River where he learned to trout fish with his Dad. He enjoyed spending his weekends arrowhead hunting in fields and along the river shore with his children. He and his wife had a passion for traveling. In their downtime, they watched movies and memorized every episode of Bonanza.
