Hobbies and Interests

I grew up in Hendersonville and love being part of my home community. The apple festival, white squirrel festival, garden jubilee, and annual Christmas tree lighting are some of my favorite local events. When not at work or at a cheesy small town festival, you will likely find me watching Netflix with my cat, eating an my favorite restaurants, or spending time with my family and friends. I am also a member of First Baptist Church in Hendersonville.
