Weight lifting, stock trading, hiking, playing with my children
I began weight lifting as a young wrestler in highschool and continued this throughout my career as a Marine. Stock trading is a new hobby for me but I enjoy the challenge and still have much to learn. On the weekends I enjoy spending time with my children and taking them outdoors on hiking trails or recreation areas.
