Fly Tying, Exercise, Fishing, Hunting, Academics.

I love the outdoors and have been fascinated with all things outside since I was very young. Living in Florida I end up biking all around the city seeking new tails (pun intended), I got into fly fishing through the Sports literature and to present myself more of a challenge! Through this I became hooked (pun also intended) and realized fly fishing is a delicate and formal art with much skill and practice involved. Tying flies to create new lures intrigued me as an useful, effective, and quite pass-time to hone into my creative side.  I was introduced to hunting and harvesting for family sustenance through close family friends and general curiosity of Animals. Most importantly amongst many more interests beside those few listed is my Academics. I set a standard to allays work hard and strive to be the best amongst my competition. Combining this with a strong work ethic, accurate time management, and focus, I have stayed an all A 4.0 and high test scoring student my entire life.
