I'm super passionate about hunting because I grew up doing it my whole life.
I would jokingly tell people all the time that I'm going to hunt and fish for the rest of my life and get paid for it.

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to be part of a study abroad course to study glassblowing techniques

Growing up on the ranch at an early age I was following my grandpa around from the age of three.
I grew up rodeoing so I've been around horses my whole life.
