Painting (currently). We make a new canvas painting each weekend together on a facetime call, mostly to de-stress. When I go to Michael's, I now know what to buy (instead of pretending). My paintings look ok as long as you don't see the original ones I was copying.

My wife's name is Emily. She is from Philadelphia. We met while both attending the University of Pittsburgh and we got married at a chapel on the campus in 2017. I have a dog named Gwyn.
