Travel, Horses, Nature, Golf, Reading

Exploring new places, unplugging from routine and collecting experiences through travel is one of my favorite things to do.  Playing golf and being around horses challenges me in a variety of ways.  Putting myself in uncomfortable situations (this pertains to golf and horses) teaches me how to deal with stress and facilitates personal growth.  I have gained confidence and been extremely humbled by the game of golf and spending time with horses.
