I have a variety of interests in life. Above all I value my relationships with my wife and family and with a few close friends I have made over the years. Time and connection with them is of the utmost importance to me. Beyond time with my family and friends, I have several activities that bring me enjoyment in life. Listed below are the things I enjoy the most:
