About Me
A few things I enjoy are golf and disc golf, hiking, swimming, cooking, listening to and playing music of all genres. I was an active musician for 14 years, it's more of a hobby these days. I enjoy being active and meeting new people. I love sharing experiences and trading life stories. I moved around a lot as a kid and have always found it easy to make new friends. I'm a pretty good judge of character, and I believe respect is the cornerstone to personal and professional relationships.
