Daniel says "Hobbies: Enjoy attending a Braves, Thrashers, Falcons game when I can.

I have 15 grandfathered in start/finish line seats for the late Atlanta race. Haven't missed that race in 25 years. ( About 50% of spring races I attend )

Enjoy camping and fishing, basicly anything to get me outside. The Blue Ridge Mts. are only a couple hour drive to the north. Been married 3 years to a beautiful lady from Peru.. and yes my spanish is pretty good, its helps at work as well."
