restoring cars, home improvement projects, and archery

I am currently restoring a 1982 datsun 280zx. This project is still in it's early stages, but it has already taught me about more than just cars. I have learned important lessons about researching projects, management of funds. and prioritization of efforts.


Home improvement is an endeavor that I took up during the pandemic. I remodeled a bathroom, and the ceiling of my front porch with the help of my parents and brother. Patience. attention to detail, and improvisation were the main qualities upon which I improved during this time.


Archery was always a skill that interested me, but I only began to try my hand at it about a year ago. Since I began, I have been astonished both by how slow and at the same time how fast I have improved over that time. Proper technique and practice, and the fruit that they bare, are skills that I appreciate more and more each day as I hone my skills in this discipline.
