Activities
I enjoy working around people. Problem solving for customers gives me a sense of satisfaction. If something is broken, I like to fix it. I find that completing tasks that are often overlooked to be the most satisfying. In my spare time you will find me going places and doing things people don’t often do, taking the road less traveled. Hiking, fishing, kayaking, bicycling. Basically, anything that involves spending time out-of-doors in nature. Spending time outdoors with my family and my dog is priceless to me.
