After serving in the United States Marine Corps, I now work as a Web Developer. I aim to visit all 50 US states, with only five remaining. I enjoy indulging in whiskey, wine, coffee, occasional gaming (by breaking out the original NES or SNES.), and soaking in hot springs in my free time. I also enjoy hiking and taking pictures, along with metal detecting & magnet fishing.
