Affiliations
- I am an avid outdoorsman: I enjoy camping, hunting, fishing, going on long hikes and trail runs, and open water distance swimming. Every day after work, I go to the gym to lift weights, run, and swim laps. I assist my family in planting, weeding, and harvesting a large vegetable garden as well as raising and caring for rabbits. I enjoy engineering and building personal projects in machining, welding and fabrication, and carpentry to learn new skills and bolster my knowledge. To relax, I enjoy playing guitar, reading a good book, and writing in my journal, reflecting on my thoughts of the day.
