As a family man, my children come first, of course. But beyond that:

I have a strong interest in pretty much all computer related things, which includes but is not limited to: building/troubleshooting/repairing, programming, IT security/hacking, linux based operating systems, open source. I've been building computers for friends, family and myself since about 2012.

I also play tactical paintball, also called magfed paintball. I enjoy that it allows me to still utilize some of the knowledge, skills and gear that i accrued in the Army. On top of that, it helps me to stay physically and mentally sharp.

I also enjoy traditional instinctive archery. It takes a lot of practice to gain the skills needed to use a bow well without all the modern sights and equipment. On top of that, I find the traditional bow and arrows made of natural woods to be very beautiful when done properly.
