Outside of work I enjoy golfing, camping, traveling, going to antique truck and tractor shows, and working on the Farm with my wife Ashley and our son Clyde. I am also a licensed Private Pilot and treasurer for our local flying association.

The culture! Hungerford really cares about their employees, and they show it every day.

Also most companies claim to have a positive work life balance but Hungerford really stands behind that ideology.
