Golf, family time, going out on the lake, being outdoors

I love to hit the course with my friends or brothers. I am competitive and love going head to head in all sorts of recreational sports and even smaller game situations. Quality family time is super important to me and love just being around them and sharing laughs. I've grown up near the lake and it has been a major part of my life and I find it to be a good place for me to go and enjoy the outdoors and reset.
