Fun facts?
I’m a MASSIVE soccer fan and actually have a small collection of soccer jerseys, close to 30, from teams all over the world. I’m also quite the nerd. While I’m really bad at video games I know quite a bit about various eSports (a.k.a professional video games). I’m also an avid skier as well as wake boarder and wake surfer.
