Gardening, Hockey, Reading

I have a deep passion for gardening and growing my own vegetables, finding joy in nurturing plants and enjoying the harvest. I'm also an avid hockey enthusiast, both on the ice and in the stands, where I love the energy and camaraderie of the game. In quieter moments, I enjoy immersing myself in a good book, continually seeking new stories, ideas, and perspectives to broaden my understanding of the world
