Hobbies & Interests
I am a father of two, work full time, and enjoy being a volunteer firefighter on evenings and weekends. I like to think I still have hobbies, but at the moment I have a collection of paddle boards, wood working tools, guitars, fishing gear, mountain bikes, and gym equipment that is patiently waiting for me to utilize again, hopefully soon.
