Enjoy working outside and getting fresh air
I enjoy doing home renovations both small and extensive
Music, Theater, Aviation interest, and Home Renovations.
I love music and theater especially when you combine the two. I have participated in many different theater and music performances. I have a personal interest in aviation and am very interested in learning more and wanting to get my private pilots license. I enjoy home renovations from the planning phase on. I particularly like to design projects and see them come to life. I love the ability to physically see the work that I have accomplished!
