Hobbies

Hobbies

Outside of my professional endeavors, I am deeply passionate about maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. I dedicate a significant portion of my time to weight training, hitting the gym four to five times a week to challenge myself physically and push my limits. Additionally, I find solace and enjoyment in the serene environment of the golf course, where I indulge in the sport of golf during the weekends. Both weight training and golf serve as outlets for me to stay focused, disciplined, and mentally sharp, qualities that I also bring to my professional pursuits.
