Handyman work, Woodworking, Steel work, Finding things to fix, Gardening. Most of all, family time.

I always keep busy with many interests, too many to list. I'm fascinated by so many things and try to learn as much as I can each day. I truly want to figure out how anything and everything works, from biology, auto mechanics and blacksmithing, to quantum computing, AI and theoretical physics. I never really understood what being "bored" meant. My family is most important to me and everything I do is for them. I work extremely hard on my career, my job, for them. My family is my motivation for a successful career, and that motivation is powerful.
