Personal Interests
Outside of work, I like to stay active and spend as much time outdoors as I can. I enjoy golfing, fishing, going to the gym, and playing pickleball. I also enjoy traveling, trying new things, and spending time with friends and family. I’m generally someone who likes to stay busy and be around people, but I also enjoy having time to relax and get outside. I think my hobbies reflect that I’m competitive, active, and always up for a new challenge.
