In my downtime, I focus on staying active and grounded. Hitting the gym is a big part of my routine it's where I push myself and stay in shape. When I'm not training, I make time to hang out with friends and family, enjoying good company and real conversations. I also like taking my dog for walks to clear my head. Gaming gives me a chance to unwind and challenge myself in a different way, while reading keeps me sharp and always learning something new.
