Bowling, Swimming, Reading.
I have been bowling since I was in elementary school including several tournaments throughout the country. Being on the bowling team during my high school years taught me valuable lessons that I still use today and still enjoy bowling for fun. Swimming has been a way of unwinding and exercising for me. Reading has always been a way for me to unwind after the day is done.
