Faith
I was raised by a Christian family in a protestant, evangelical non-denominational church and still attend church most Sundays, pray many times daily, and do my best to emulate Christ as I am able
Doctrinally, I am a fairly traditional protestant although I believe in "majoring in the majors" so while I am happy to debate the finer points of any doctrine, I don't believe in allowing minor disagreements over Scriptural interpration to cause divison
Fitness
A couple years back, I decided to get serious about fitness and started working out daily with the goal of getting into as good a shape as I possible can so I can run spartan races, do active sports, hike serious trails, and generally live life to its fullest
In the last two years I have gone from 260 to 190 pounds ATM with my goal being 150-160 before doing any bulking; original vs current PRs are 3 to 6.6miles in an hour run, bench from 90 to 250 full motion off chest or 400 partial motion, leg press 220 to north of 1000/machine max, no squatting/deadlifting yet as I am recovering from a back injury
Hobbies
Besides working and working out, I don't have a ton of time left over but I do enjoy some other hobbies on occasion including mini golf, bowling, fishing, travel (I have visited 60 countries on six continents to-date), and conservative/libertarian politics/world events reader
When I finish working on a given day (typically 8-9PM), I walk for an hour and then do about an hour of video games followed by an hour of watching action/mystery/scifi TV/Anime before I read a book in the same genres until I fall asleep sometime in the 1 to 3AM range
I am very close with my parents who are both still alive, in good health, and have been married for 41 years; they split their time between PA in the summer, FL in the Winter
I have one married older brother who lives in Maryland, works for the Boeing company as a Mechanical Engineer and four sets of uncles/aunts with nine cousins, almost all of them in the greater SE PA region
