Value Outside Work

My favorite things to do as a kid were. . .
Playing with Legos, watching Lego movies, studying military history, and watching World War II documentaries. Most importantly, I grew up cheering for the New York Yankees.

As a big kid, I like to. . .
I still enjoy history documentaries and watching the Yankees play. I’m also involved in ministry, particularly serving in children’s ministry and playing piano at church.

One of the things I hope to do. . .
Run a marathon, try a stand-up comedy routine, and visit every continent (except Antarctica).
