Car Modification, Mauy Thai, Landscape Painting, Powerlifitng, Backpacking

I've always enjoyed working with my hands and enjoyed expressing myself in creative ways. I started modifying cars by helping my football teams Linebacker coach work on his Evo IX rally car, before buying my own Subaru WRX which I now race on mountains. I also started practicing Mauy Thai after four years of Wrestling so that I can learn the basics of striking and kicking. I also powerlift competitively to stay in shape. Too balance all that out I paint and take backpacking trips on weekends to connect with nature and enjoy my free time.
