I love animals and being out in nature including fishing. My pets bring me incredible joy and I’m passionate about rescuing animals and critters of all kinds and spreading awareness.

I’m a sports nut. I love and breathe Atlanta Braves baseball and love the New Orleans Saints and St. Louis Blues. I’ll watch any NFL or MLB game.

I collect Penguins.

I’m a home remodel junkie.
