Hobbies
I am an avid enjoyer of the arts! One of my favorite things about being in Denver is all the culture. I also enjoy being near the mountains. When I have spare time, I also enjoy East coast swing, photography, and hiking. And, while I am not a sports expert, members of my family are, and I support them and others involved in team activities as best as I can.
