ACTIVITIES
Outside of work and education, my hobbies include spending time with family, hunting, fishing,
camping, hiking, lifting weights, biking, and making people happy. I am a firm believer that a lot can be
fixed with a positive attitude, and if you can make someone smile at least once in your day, you are
doing your part to make the world a better place. I also have a passion for self-sufficient living, and will
find every chance I can to make something rather than buying it. During my military service, I realized I
love teaching people how to do their jobs, and I have always had an appreciation for math and science,
which led me to getting a degree in teaching.
