Exercise and soccer enthusiast, history junkie, and DIY enthusiast but not ashamed to seek help
I'm an avid soccer fan, having coached my own children for many years and having played the sport through college years. I'm an enthusiast of all sports really and what they have to teach us as individuals and collaborators on a team, how to face obstacles and overcome set backs to stay competitive.
History is my jam. My family know that it's best to avoid historic places on a vacations otherwise you'll find me reading and stopping at every informational sign post. I avidly watch public televisions Oregon Experience which dives into various places and people that our state/regions historical relevance. And I'm a big World War 2 history buff.
As far as DIY, I attempt many home improvement projects reminscent of "Tim the Tool Man Taylor" - the role played by Tim Allen on network television way back in the 1990's. The feeling of accompishment working on your own home is very gratifying, no matter how many mistakes you make.
