Outside of the Office

Denis is an avid golfer and since his other hobbies involve sitting; he can most often be found walking the course versus taking a cart.

When not on the golf course, he spends time watching horse racing, cheering for Michigan State sports and attending Carolina Panthers football games.  Additionally, he spends time with his three dogs, a french bulldog, a miniature labradoodle, and a newly-adopted rescue.
