ACTIVITIES

One of my favorite activities is to keep learning about historical events. By knowing this information, I can relate to what is happening in today's society.

I am currently a high school football coach, overseeing the first-year team at Lafayette High School. Being a coach allows me to teach values and teamwork effort to a young generation. Coaching allows me to learn about new technology trends and items the younger generation uses.

I have an interest in car repair and woodworking. Being able to repair or create items is a skill that is always in demand. This mindset teaches how to work with things you have and not go out and buy new ones. Which helps save resources and money and increases outside-the-box thinking. Also, this mindset teaches one how to care for their items and not just consider them replaceable.
