learning new things, engineering and science, music's my first love but sports (college football, NFL, NBA) has now become a close second, cooking and enjoying good wine, writing, health and fitness, beauty and fashion, hiking, camping, dancing and going to the clubs, I've had this huge fascination with the ocean ever since I can remember so obviously I love being out on boats and snorkeling, traveling "you won't find me, I'm going MIA", the Florida Keys and much beer and mojitos when I get there "I came, I drank, I don't remember"
