Affiliations
I currently operate and maintain an eight acre farm with two dogs, two spoiled horses, and a flock of eighteen ducks. Typically, I spend my weekends outdoors, working on my property and garden, or fishing and exploring trails. When I am not at work or on my property, I volunteer at a local boarding facility for horses.
