ACTIVITIES
I’m an avid cyclist and enjoy riding my bike instead of driving, to and from places. I enjoy hiking, especially the Grand Canyon. I’m a big sports fan and like watching them on TV or live. I’m fascinated with stars and find pleasure looking at them with a telescope. I love learning about different birds and have a collection of books on them. I also enjoy fishing.
