Drumming, hiking, scuba diving, cooking, travel, horticulture
I've been drumming since I was 16. I love to go out in the woods and hike. Hiked 36 miles in Havasu Pai over 3 days. Done over 200 dives, mainly in the carribean (co-owner of a dive shop in Dominican Republic). I'm the main cook in my family and love to make anything BBQ. I have over 100 palm trees in my yard because I love the tropical environment but live in the desert.
