Hobbies

I have been a musician and guitar player since I was a child and still hold a substantial passion for music. I have practiced the martial art of Tang Soo-Do since I was young, always seeking to improve and maintain physical fitness and mental discipline. I enjoy spending time outdoors as well as swimming, climbing, camping and motorcycling. I find joy in learning and mastering new skills and languages such as Spanish and American sign language. New hobbies seem to enter my life without warning and help to build me into a diverse and capable individual.
