Interests and hobbies

I really enjoy boating with family and friends on beautiful Harrison Lake. I enjoy working around my house doing the endless projects that always seem to arise, but always in the end are satisfying to accomplish no matter the struggles. Travelling is also one of my passions that my wife and I try to do as much as possible, Mexico being our usual go to place for fun and relaxation.
