Hobbies/Interests – I am an avid maker of terrible puns, and even more adept at making ill-timed, inappropriate comments. General shenanigans and causing chaos might also be gifts intrinsic to my nature. When not Brewing or making my co-workers roll their eyes, I love nature, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, photography and long romantic walks on crowded streets. I am also very enthusiastic about things that go vroom, so am also very fond of long rides on the beach with my Harley, running things over with my Jeep, or just causing general mayhem on my dirt bike. Lastly, dogs, llamas, turtles, sloths, and praying mantis are my favorite animals but also like Camels, Bears, Giraffes and Pandas a-lot too. OH, and Penguins, I almost forgot Penguins…Maybe I should Just say I like animals. I like animals!
