When I'm not busy turning coffee into code or working as a laborer at a paper mill, I am a man of many passions. Here are a few things I enjoy:

• 🎣 Going fishing and hunting in the great outdoors
• 🏕️ Engaging in camping trips with my family
• 🎸 Playing the guitar and drums - I love making music!
• 🚗 Acting as the family mechanic, I'm currently working on putting a Mercedes turbo diesel in my Toyota pickup - it's a labor of love
• 🐶 Playing with my English bulldog, Earl, and taking care of my lovely pet family that includes 3 dogs and 3 cats
• 👨‍👩‍👦 Spending quality time with my wife and my two boys

Life is all about balance, and these activities help keep me grounded.
