Interests

When I am not sitting in front of a computer monitor, I like to disconnect and unwind in the great outdoors. My favorite activities include; reading a self-development book, meditation, going for a swim at the pool or the beach, listening to some great jazz, and, watching a great movie at the cinema or sipping on an iced Coke while binge-watching Netflix. I volunteer my time when needed to engage in causes that benefit humanity whenever I get the opportunity.
