- Designing aquariums and putting them together strategically is something I find relaxing as well as allowing me to engage my creative side
- Building things like birdhouses, quail, duck, and chicken coops outside is something I deeply enjoy I like engineering the plans for the builds and making them happen
- Spending time outside is what I do a lot of in nicer weather, I garden and I appreciate a good camping trip Nature is something I greatly appreciate
- I enjoy building my social media profiles and engaging with my online community Videography and editing is a major passion of mine and a skill I've greatly improved on over the years
- Running a small business is something I enjoy, I primarily deliver quail eggs, but have started expanding by learning how to ship them Raising chicks and adults to sell is where I have the most experience, now I sell baby chicks and adult so others can enjoy this hobby as well
