Personal Interests

Guitar

I am a self-taught guitarist and have played for about five years. I aspire to continue improving and record my own original pieces. See my Telecaster featuring my cat below.

Computers

I built my personal desktop computer four years ago and a couple more for family members. I am knowledgeable with both hardware and software and typically diagnose and repair issues that arise with my devices. This allows me to stay current with new hardware components and keep up with the rapidly advancing performance requirements for new programs.

Snowboarding

Having originally been a skier, I picked up snowboarding with ease, though I find it more challenging. I tend to hit the slopes at least once a winter. Last year was Holiday Valley, and this year was Bristol.

Reading

I have always been an avid reader since grade school and I accredit this hobby for my strong reading and writing skills. Many books could be listed as favorites, but below are some of my recent favorites.

Music

Albums for any occasion. I have a deep appreciation for artists and their music, both old and new. 

Here is a brief list of some favorites:


TV
