Waterloo Waterhawks Show Ski Team, golfing, exercising

Golfing and exercising are stress relievers in my life. They are hard things that challenge me while helping me stay fit. Water skiing is my main hobby. It requires the most of my time of the three. It is a show skiing team that calls for all hands on deck. The Waterloo Waterhawks have challenged me, introduced me to amazing people, and gotten me out of my comfort zone.
