Marty Case - Marty enjoys hunting, fishing, hiking and generally being outdoors. He likes to travel with his wife and will take a cruise any day! He believes 80's music is the way to go, with country being a close second (but not the old-school country). Mexican food is his go-to, but he won't turn down a good steak with seafood.
Aaron Thomas - Aaron has a commercial bee/pollination business on the side. He travels the world regularly, usually scuba diving. If he could go anywhere, he'd choose Tibet. He has a wonderful wife who would let him eat lasagna every day for dinner if he wanted to.
Andrew Hutchinson - Andrew keeps busy as a father of 4, but when given the opportunity he enjoys working out, running, reading science fiction novels, playing board games and video games. He would love a week's vacation in Hawaii with a pitstop in Anaheim to go to Disneyland. He loves pizza, specifically a taco pizza from Pietro's.
Shane Wilson - Shane is a NY Yankees fan. He'd love to visit Maui where he was married and owned a timeshare.
Donald Lane - Donald likes to spend time wake surfing and RZR riding with his family. He would love to vacation anywhere tropical with a great beach. His go-to food is a ribeye steak, smoked and cooked on the Traeger.
Philip Castle - Phil loves hunting, boating and being outdoors. He believes there's no other music other than Country music. He would vacation in Arizona or the woods of any state if given the chance. His go-to food would be the biggest cowboy steak he could find.
