Hobbies and Interests
GOLF
I've been playing the game of golf for 5 years now. golf allows me to focus in on one thing and forces my body to work together both mentally and physically. I enjoy golfing as much as possible, anytime i can spend at the course is time well spent even if im just at the range working on my swing and short game.
FOOTBALL
Football is a game I've always loved, although I may not be able to watch every game in the season, I enjoy listening to podcasts about football on my commute, or watching highlights when I do miss a game. the strategic sense in football was always my favorite. watching a team execute a perfectly planned trick play to gain yards or a diversion on kick return to get a touchdown is always thrilling to watch. This strategic sense can be used in day to day life as planning, teamwork, and strategy are how people overcome some of the hardest challenges.
CARS/PLANES
I've always had a love for anything with an engine, hints why I do machine operation and excavation in my spare time. vintage cars and WW2 planes peak my interest and someday I'd like to get my license to fly.
