Drifting, Building racing drones, hunting and fishing, playing guitar, gaming
I have two Mazda Miatas and one is getting built to drift. I like sliding lol. I build FPV racing drones on carbon fiber frames that use flight controllers, electronic speed controllers, radio rx, video tx, motors, and cameras to fly first person really fast using a base station or goggle linked to the video tx on the drone. Been hunting and fishing since I was eight years old that's a long story lol. I've been playing guitar since I was around 15. I have been in a youth group praise band and a metal band since then. Been playing video games since I was three when my grandparents bought me regular nintendo.
