About

I drink a lot of coffee, renovate/update my house, buy plants, learn various new skills (sewing was the most recent, thanks to the pandemic) and spend time with friends. My hobbies are amateur auto racing with the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) in warm months and skiing or learning to snowboard in cold months.
