I have been married to Hannah for 12 years, and we have four children: Easton, 7; Copeland, 5; August, 2; and Weslie, 10 months (as of the event date).

We love to travel, even with the young kids, and we spend a ton of time at the lake as a family. During the summer, we are boating, swimming and chasing kids around different activities.

We normally travel to one surfing destination a year, because this is my passion and has been for a long time. Living in Kansas has made it slightly difficult to drive to the beach, so we make a point to vacation where there are waves. It helps to surf behind the boat too!

I lead an amazing team at Advisors Excel that we call The Main Team. It is 10 individuals who I think are the most elite marketers in the industry, who coach and support the most successful advisors in the country.

I am usually looking for a challenge, and I saw the list of friends and colleagues who I would be next to through it all, and I was in!

My greatest fear is getting injured either before or during the trek that would keep me from giving it my best shot.

I’m a blank page. I’m open to seeing what I learn about myself through the challenge.
