Hobbies

I've been completing most automotive repairs on my personal vehicles and vehicles of friends and family since high school. Lifelong musician and proficient at multiple musical instruments. Lifelong billiard enthusiast, recently purchased a used Craftsman/Atlas 12x24" engine lathe and have been doing cue repairs for close friends and family for two years. My favorite place to travel is Key West, Florida. I've been there three times and it's the most beautiful place I've ever seen.
