I love cooking. I love making pizza and french fries. When I’m not hanging out with my two friends, I like spending time with my sister. She looks up to me a lot, but what she doesn’t know is that she’s my hero.

I love long romantic walks along the beach when the beautiful sunset colors sing across the water reflecting the dying light of yet another day well spent exploring the beautiful coasts of Lake Michigan.

When I’m not doing cool projects like this. I'm usually doing silly quirky stuff. For example I can juggle 7 tennis balls at once. I love painting portraits of animals, as well as taking long hikes through the woods. Life is good, life is great! Enjoy and embrace it.

After a long, busy day of hunting for rare, high-quality items across Michigan’s peninsula, you’ll find me unwinding by songwriting and creating oil pastel paintings, all while enjoying a spicy bowl of gourmet ramen.

When I'm not fixing our website or studying, I spend my time singing, crocheting, or listening to podcasts. If I'm not doing those things, you can catch me hanging out with friends.
