Tell us about your hometown, family and hobbies.

I grew up outside of a small town called Blackie. I have lived on a family farm all my life and learned many of the aspects that go along with it. This shaped many of my interests while helping out on the farm and creating
hobbies like dirt biking. Summer holidays allow me to enjoy other interests such as wake surfing and golf.
