I have two. “Hammer” given to me by my Father-In-Law. The second is “Walter”. My wife calls me Walter because during COVID I would update her throughout the day on the news. She said I was like Walter Cronkite.

What hobbies do you enjoy?
I enjoy cooking, golfing, fishing, and Deer hunting.

What do you do in your free time?
Relax in the backyard with family around a nice fire.

What is your favorite movie?
Miracle.

What would you sing at Karaoke?

Favorite book?
“34” Biography about Walter Payton written by his family.

German Shepard mix named Ozzie, Cat named Paityn, Goldfish named Buddy, and a Grand-Dog name Tank (He’s an English Bulldog).

Will you share a proud accomplishment?
Raising my two sons. Very proud of both of them.

What’s an interesting fact about yourself?
I married my High School sweetheart. We’ll be together 40 years this December. Also, I have a man-made dimple on my cheek after I ran in to the corner of a chalk rail on a chalkboard.

What is your favorite thing about working with lighting?
You always see the end result.

We hope you enjoyed getting to know Cary and learned something new about him. Check back on the first Monday of each month to learn more about our exceptional CSLA IA team!
