Hobbies & Interests

I enjoy getting to know people by giving them suggestions
about good, reliable home electronics, and setting up the equipment for them or doing repairs for them.

Outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming, especially elevated hikes where there are few people helps me think about what I need to do, and how to get there in the job/life arena.

I enjoy good friendships where we can help each other with what really matters in this life (to each one of us personally) and keeping our sanity, doing good work, having good fun and learning from each other as well.
