Hobbies

 I love to spend time with my wife, Eadie, of twelve years, and two kids; they are number one in my life. I like hiking or swimming in the river if the weather allows it. I enjoy reading novels with my kids; the last book we read was Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I’m fond of reading manga (Japanese comics) and playing video games occasionally.
