Hobbies

In my free time, I engage in a few different of activities that keep my body and mind active. Fishing and hunting are my ideal ways to pass the time teaching me patience, anticipation, and ethical engagement with the environment. Jiu-jitsu and physical exercise instill discipline, resilience, and strategic thinking. My passion for chess keeps me sharp for when I need it the most and while only being a recent hobby of mine cooking allows me to be a little more creative. Amidst all these pursuits, spending quality time with my family is my anchor, emphasizing the importance of communication, connection, and holistic well-being. Each of these hobbies keeps me grounded and shapes the approach I bring to professional settings.
