I played soccer for almost 14 years right up until I started college, where I played with friends in the intramural teams. Now I try to run and workout in place of playing soccer, occasionally still passing the ball around.
I enjoy listening to music, hanging out with friends, going out on the boat, and playing with my puppy Piper!
