HOBBIES:

GOLF,

WOODWORKING,

MUSIC

My golf is an attempt at stress release and is a good walk spoiled by a little white ball. But I need exercise.

Woodworking gives me an opportunity to be creative and is something I've enjoyed since high school.

I do occasionally pick up an electric guitar or sit at my electronic drum kit and vent a little stress.
