I enjoy spending time in the outdoors with my family. I love camping, hiking, skiing, and playing basketball.

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

"Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke the oppressor,
Obtain justice for the orphan,
Plead for the widow’s case."
-Isaiah 1:17
