I like to find recipes online then get the necessary ingredients for them and make the dish see if i can improve on it. I occasionally like to go to the Firing Range with my friends to improve on my shooting skills. I like to help my father with his construction work if its job related or around the house. I took 2 years of welding in Highschool and like to help my Father when it comes to welding. I've always enjoyed the internet and know a good amount on how it works such as website building, content creating, etc.
