He was passionate about music often sharing the history about the artist and the meaning behind the lyrics; a few of his favorites were Leon Russell, Eric Clapton & Bob Seger. He loved golf, enjoying the camaraderie of the game, despite calling himself a "hacker". He was an avid Dallas Cowboys and a lifelong University of Kentucky Wildcats fan.
