Hobbies

I like playing and listening to music. At about 15 I picked up guitar and that led to playing the bass and drums. Although I still love to play its been awhile and is sporadic. After getting married 10 years ago and having 3 beautiful girls, most of my time now is dedicated to hanging with my wife and these awesome kids.
