Hobbies

If I'm not at my computer working on a personal project, you'll likely find me outdoors somewhere either taking photos, running, biking, hiking, or some combination of those things.

Staying fit and pushing my physical limits is as important to me as growing mentally which is why I set annual fitness goals.

Here's how I'm doing this year:
