I have been a member of LTF for 6 months. I have been married to my wonderful wife Megan (which I’m sure most of you know) for almost 6 years. We have the cutest 4 y/o daughter Oakleigh. I’m an operating room nurse. In our spare time we enjoy going to our cabin in the north woods or going anywhere that has a beach.
