About Me 

I enjoy spending time with my family (husband, 2 cats, and puppy). We particularly love camping, off-roading, fishing, mountain biking and disc golfing. When I'm not with my family, I love writing, producing, and playing music with my main instrument being guitar. I hope to get back into being in a band after I graduate.
