My hobbies include riding Harley’s with my wife and playing with the grandkids. I am blessed with the best wife, Brenda, and we have two daughters, Brook and Suni Rea, and grandkids Macoy Maddox, Cole, and Karsyn Rea. My dream vacation destination would be to explore the good ole USA on a Harley. I am originally from Norwood, Colorado. I enjoy participating in all the outdoor activities that the valley has to offer. My favorite food is pancakes and eggs and I am not a very interesting person. My favorite show is That 70’s show and my favorite band is the group Cheap Trick.
