Hobbies

I'm a lover of life and have many passions. I love being outdoors, no matter what the season is and like to stay active. During the winter you'll find me snowboarding. When the weather is nice I'll be outside hiking, paddleboarding, or golfing. I like to stay active and exercise regularly to keep healthy and stay strong, and I believe exercise and nutrition gives us longevity to do the things that we love. I would say that I'm a world traveler, having been to 20 countries and hope that places I see continues to grow. If I wasn't a hairstylist, I would love to travel and do elopement wedding photography.
