No Small Feat
One of my favorite hobbies is painting miniatures. I've been into the hobby for around 5 years now and have built up quite a collection of painting projects. It's a great way to relax, and it is an amazing creative outlet.

Fun Facts
What are some things you think everyone should try at least once in their lifetime? Why?
I think everyone who is able should pick up a sport or some kind of physical activity and pursue it to as high a level as they can for at least a few years. Everyone should get to experience the peak of what their body is capable of.
What other languages do you speak?
I am not yet fluent, but I have been working on learning Japanese. I took three semesters in college, and I've been trying to make sure to keep up and improve my language skills. It's an interesting language, but learning kanji can be a little overwhelming.
What is your 'go to" karaoke song?
"My Way" by Frank Sinatra
What is your secret talent?
I know karate. I trained in martial arts for much of my late teens and the first half of my 20's. I used to train for 2-3 hours a day, 6 days a week, but fell out of it when I got more serious about getting through college. However, I'm currently working on getting back into shape so I can get back into it.
