Golf and spending time with son
During my time off I really enjoy playing a bit of golf to get mind off of what feels like a non stop job. I am very passionate about watching my son grow as he is now 10 and I'd like to enjoy him at this age while I can. I enjoy watching him play his baseball games, going on camping trips or just hanging out around the house.
