plays soccer and tennis for recreation. Loves to cook and try different cuisines.
I played high school soccer as a forward at Bowie high school. I also played competitive club soccer outside of school. We won some and lost some games, but it was fun. I continue to play soccer today whenever time allows. I also played recreational tennis in high school and continue to play today as time allows.
I love to eat food from different countries so I learn to cook different cuisines. My specialty is Nigerian rice and stew.
