He also enjoyed boating and was a self proclaimed master boat captain. He was an entrepreneur and was always looking for new business opportunities. He enjoyed traveling, technology, the stock market, sports betting, and a good double fireball neat. His laugh was contagious and he was bound to make sure everyone around him had a good time.
