My personal mission is to value the relationships I have with family and loved ones, to contribute to the betterment of my community and to strive for continuous self-improvement.
I read A LOT, mostly fiction. I also get outside among the trees or on the river as much as I can; hiking or paddle boarding. My regular yoga and meditation practice keep me grounded.
