My latest passion is scuba diving. I have the advanced open water and enhanced air (Nitrox) PADI certifications. My favorite diving spot so far is the reef just off of San Pedro, Belize. I've swam with reef sharks and whale sharks and have speared lionfish to feed to nurse sharks. I've swam with wild dolphins, hand-fed sting rays and tarpon, and hand-caught spiny lobsters. I love the ocean and spend as much time as possible in and around it.
I enjoy being outdoors whenever I can whether it be yard work, mountain hiking, or running. I'm currently training to complete my first half marathon.
As the weather chills, I spend my weekends snowboarding in Michigan with at least one Colorado trip each winter.
I am also interested in finance and investing and do my best to stay up to date with America's S&P 500 companies and the latest finance news. This includes cryptocurrency - I bought my first bitcoin back in mid 2013 for a cool cost of $93. Bitcoin recently soared to nearly $70,000 (if only I had held the whole time!) but has gone all the way back down to under $20k. I have a home-built PC (AMD all the way) and mined Ethereum and Electroneum back when it was profitable.
