Interests
I enjoy most of my free time organizing and playing video games with my friends. From the new hot titles to reliable Rocket League, most nights I can be found online in some manner.
When forced outdoors I enjoy spending time on lakes, specifically on a pontoon while enjoying a frosty beverage. I enjoy archery when the weather permits and short walks with my short legged dogs and my wonderful wife.
