Hobbies
Spend a lot of my time in the warmer months outside fishing, hiking, biking, gardening, doing assortments of home improvements. I'm very passionate about the environment and nature. I love to travel with my family and experience new things and learn about the places we go such as the history and the day-to-day lifestyles. Love going to various car events with my son and keeping up with new and old automotive news.
