Hobbies/Interest

I love my hobbies, they are what makes me who I am today. Overtime I have tried many things and found the things that I love. A few of those hobbies and interest are Snowboarding, Offroading/Jeep Life, Photography, my best friend(dog) and rollercoasters.

Snowboarding has been my favorite sport since I was little. I've been snowboarding for over 10 years now. The first time I went snowboarding, my dad pulled me back up the hill behind our house. I eventually made it to the real slopes were I used board that was twice the height of me. The next few times times I was able to rent and then I saved up and bought my own board. Snowboarding has taken me to plan places across the country, which I love traveling too, I've been to West Virginia, Virginia and Alaska to go snowboarding.

My Jeep is my life. It's my first vehicle from High School and it'll stay with me for the rest of my life. I am a offroading enthusiast who has built and repair his own jeep for many years. Most of the large modifications and repairs that my jeep has had, i've done myself in my garage with my own tools. Owning a jeep teaches you a lot, it shows you what can come from building something with your hands. I have traveled all over with my jeep going on many trips and places. Since I have bought my jeep, I have traveled over 170,000+ miles with it.



Naturally with all the traveling I do, I like to document it. I take pictures where ever I go, so photography was hobbie I was bound to get into. I have been taking pictures since my senior year in high school. I have taken photos for The Rotunda, Longwood's School Newspaper; Cruz Productions, DJ & Event Company; Longwood Public Relations Office; LancersBlog.com; and my own companies, the-rva.com & longwood.photos.

Jake Burton Alexander, the biggest 9 year old puppy/shadow you'll ever meet. He's my best friend for sure. We'll go on road trips almost weekly during the summer time. He'll sit in the front seat next to me and just jam out the radio along with me.



The closest thing to flying in my opinion. I love rollercoasters and I always have. There's not a single one that I won't ride, from Kings Dominion, Busch Gardens, Hersey, Universal Studios, and Disney World, I love them all.
