He loves attending college and professional sporting events with his family, coaching his son's T-ball teams and just playing catch or chipping a golf ball in the yard with his boys. As a family, the Basingers are actively involved in their church, love to travel and experience new places and enjoy spending time together: exploring the outdoors, playing board games, watching movies or hunting for pirate treasure (one of the boy's favorites). It's a full and fun life!
