My hobbies have been like seasons. They have changed from one to another during my life, but there are always the favorite ones that I always seem to come back to me and the new one that I cannot get enough of. At the current time, I have a couple hobbies that I try to do whenever the time is available.

Mountain Biking - This is way I like to be with nature. To go to a state park, privatly owned block of woods or any other recreation area that may have some type of trail system. I can test my physical and mental ability dealing with different terrain and circumstances, catch wildlife in its' own, and get a glimps of natures beauty.

Scuba Diving - This is a hobbie that I started a couple of years ago because of  my father and my daughter. Diving is something that I will continue to do as long as I am breathing. I could dive everday if possible. To me there is no way to express the beauty of the aquatic life and  the feeling to be in another world.

Hunting - This is an activity that my father introduced me to when I was very young and it has stuck with me my entire life. There is not much more enjoyable than to be in the woods in the morning to catch the sun rise over the horizon, the rustled of leaves from the squirrels and birds, the sight of the elusive whitetail deer, or the thunderous gobble of the wild turkey. Challenging natures' animals in there own with the knowledge that you have acquired from self- education or the assistance of others is a great feeling. I does not matter whether or not you come home empty handed or with that honorable trophy. Just knowing that there will be another hunt and another adventure is the drive that keeps us going.

Family Time - My last hobbie would be my family time. Even though my schedule from work and school seem to keep me busy I always try to find time to be with my family. I feel that in todays' society a close family is a plus and spending time together to have fun and take away all of the daily problems will make the family tighter. I have enclosed a small slideshow of some of my family and family times photos.
