I enjoy Golfing, Swimming, Hiking, Reading Books, and spending time with my family.

I enjoy being outdoors the most or taking in some good literature to end the evening. Arizona is a beautiful state for those who enjoy these hobbies. However, I have been fortunate enough to live here for my entire life so the older I have gotten, the more and more I have appreciated the weather and actives. My family is everything to me, and even if I can't physically see any of them, a phone call or a text is always something I like to do just to check in. In my time outside of those hobbies and any work, I also help adults who have substance abuse problems and work with them on getting their life's back on the right track. I enjoy being of service, and that is just another reason why I am looking forward to possibly working in a different industry.
