Power consumption using Blinky example on custom board

Hello I am seeing some excessive current consumption (~650uA) when connected and do not know where it is coming from.  I am using a custom board with an external 32 MHz crystal for the HFCLK and no crystal for the LFCLK, so I am planning on using the internal RC for this.  I am using the softdevice S132 as it is configured in the example project.

I started with the Blinky peripheral example and modified the sdk_config.h file to the following:

I am able to successfully connect to the client (nRF Blinky App) on my iOS device.

I have also added the following code in my main() function prior to timer_init(), ble_stack_init(), gap_parameters_init() and all other function calls:

650uA seems to be very high average current consumption for just having the softdevice enabled and the App Timer running off of internal RC.  Could someone help?
