Personal Activities
In my personal time I read science fiction, foreign, Japanese, and mystery literature. Along in my down time I participated in martial arts, play video games of all genres, watch multiple genres of television, and exercise, My martial arts journey is something that I take great pride in, I participated in the martial art taekwondo for 4 years (2016-2020). I stopped at the black belt (first degree) and I am truly proud of that. I still participate in the skills that I learned throughout those 4 years and plan to get back into martial arts. As for gaming I have been playing video games for almost my entire life and I have even participated in tournaments held by Sony Playstation.
