Hobbies

I am a huge nature enthusiast and whenever possible I throw my son in the baby backpack and take my family hiking.
I also love fly-fishing, and biking on off road trails.I still involve myself with men’s softball and soccer leagues
when the opportunity arises. I also try to visit the gym to workout a few times per week. Although I would avoid
ever calling myself a musician or artist, I do pick up my guitar and drawing board when I can find the time.
