Born in the 70s
Lives in Teutopolis, Illinois
I’ve been married 23 years to my wife and we have 3 teenage children. We enjoy traveling and have been to a number of places across the United States. We fell in love with this cabin in Southern Illinois and we were fortunate enough to purchase it. Although we love coming here, we can't be here that often which is why we decided other people should be able to enjoy it and make family memories here.
