Miniature/strategic gaming and Music

-I've enjoyed strategy games such as chess since i was a child. I didn't play chess for that long but that was the first game that began my love for games that involved more critical thinking. I recall asking my father to play with me and he would say "that is to much thinking for me". I've been playing the miniature game warmachine for over 10 years. What originally started as something to do with some friends, overtime became a big part of my life. One because i enjoyed the challenges it offered, but also because of the social aspect. I've met so many amazing individuals playing warmachine. Playing warmachine has been a fun outlet to develop critical thinking skills as well as time management because more competitive formats of warmachine are played on clock. 


-Music has been a huge part of my life for as long as i can remember. It started with listening to 80s rock and roll bands such as Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Guns and Roses, etc from my parents CD collection. As i got older i started to discover other genres of music such as heavy metal when i was in middle school. I've taken lessons during the summer, all the way into high school. Life has definitely made it difficult to play but the passion for both playing and listen to music has not faded. I've been playing the drums for over 20 years now.
