Car enthusiast
I appreciate high performance vehicles. I currently am building my 2017 Ford Mustang performance pack one, doing performance modifications as well as working on the cosmetics aspect of it. I intend to keep prepping it to join car shows or to turn it into a drag strip street legal vehicle. It brings me a lot of joy and has brought me many connections and opportunities.
Gym
I spend a great deal of time lifting weights. I currently workout six times a week and am chasing it as my long term business profession. It has created many attributes to my character enhancement. It has opened many new relationships with people and businesses. I have a vision set in place for this hobby that I work on everyday. It brings out a greater version of who I am.
