Share some fun information with us...
I love fishing and crabbing. My favorite place to be is in a boat on the ocean or on a trail in the mountains seeing God's creation. I enjoy rooting for the Seattle Seahawks and Gonzaga Bulldogs. I enjoy good coffee and road trips to Eastern Washington or the Oregon coast for camping adventures.
