Interests
Woodworking
When I'm not working on code, I like to unwind in my shop with a good woodworking project. From workbenches to cabinets, Woodworking is a skill I continue to hone and challenge myself with.
Boatbuilding
I'm working on building a small little fishing boat that I can take out with my wife and kids on some of the lakes around where I live. It's a long time coming but it will be well worth the wait.
Drums
I'm a percussionist. Primarily set, but I also play the Cajon, Djembe, Congas and others. I began playing about 10 years ago and I play for my church on a regular basis.
