Personal Highlights
I cherish spending time with my family, especially my boyfriend and our puppy! We’re even considering adopting another foster puppy soon! We love getting away and traveling to new places, even if it’s just a short weekend trip. This summer, we’re especially excited to take our new boat out on the water and enjoy some fishing. At home, we really enjoy grilling in the backyard and sometimes relaxing by the fire. We make an effort to take care of ourselves, especially through our diet, often opting to cook most of our meals this way. Our basement gym, complete with a cold plunge and sauna, helps us stay active and relaxed. In addition to our jobs, he also owns a martial arts academy. We really enjoy brainstorming new ideas to grow his business, which keeps us both inspired.
