Spending time with my family, exercising, reading and golfing.
My family time is something I cherish deeply, and it's a big part of my life. For exercise, I love running, calisthenics, and spending time in the sauna. I also enjoy reading nonfiction, particularly self-help books, personal finance, and biographies. When I can, I enjoy playing golf and watching the major tournaments.
