Racing, snowmobiling, Hunting, and Fishing

     I have enjoyed being in the racing community from 2007 till 2020. I do still have my car and like to compete when time allows.

 Ever since being able to drive snowmobile on my own, I have owned and ridden whether for ice fishing or trail riding. It's something to do when living in Northern WI with snow and the colder part of the year. Being out in the woods is what it's all about when hunting- sitting up in a deer stand, watching wildlife and hoping the big buck shows up but also to harvest a deer for the meat. With so many area lakes and the Chequamegon Bay in our backyard, there is some of the best fishing a fisherman could wish for. I currently own a 2015 Alumacraft 165 competitor boat which I have always dreamed of owning. Hard work pays off to buy certain items like this. I enjoy keeping fish to feed my family and myself.
