Fun Facts About Me
During my time as a full-time employee over the last decade, I have collected many unique hobbies and personal experiences outside of work. This includes learning to use a compound bow, playing guitar, snowboarding out west, freelance web design, social media marketing, astrophotography, and becoming a health and fitness guru.
My interests include fitness, cooking, astrophotography, crystal collecting and learning as much as possible about everything! Most recently, I earned a few top placings in various bodybuilding competitions and Spartan races throughout the country.
I believe my athletic experience has taught me the importance of discipline and dedication as well as superior work ethic needed to set and achieve goals.
