Affiliations
I am very energetic individual that wakes up early usually without an alarm enjoys the outdoor activities like golfing, fishing, hunting and going to the gym. I believe that staying heathy both mentally and physically are very important to contribute to be the better version of yourself. Other activities that i enjoy are watching sports (Football, UFC, F1, Basketball and Golf). Few things in life in my opinion are better than a nice dinner with your significant other.
