When I am not working, you can typically find me at a dog park with my 3-year-old pup (pictures can always be supplied upon request). I also enjoy playing and writing music, watching a new film at the cinema, or spending time with my friends and family. I enjoy a day of thrifting and anything that involves live music and good food.
