HOBBIES

I love enjoying the outdoors as much as possible. During the summer, I like to be on the lake. I’m an avid water skier and have recently learned to wake surf. I also enjoy hiking, camping, climbing, paddling and all the amazing recreation Utah offers. During the winter, I occasionally hit the slopes, but more often opt for a warm chair with a good book, movie or video game. I’m also just starting to learn to play guitar because I always have to be learning something new. I think it’s important to continuously challenge ourselves to do new and/or hard things.
