HOBBIES AND INTERESTS

My favourite hobby by far is to spend time with my family. My daughters have many activities

that I enjoy with them including horseback riding, Kung Fu, and gymnastics. I also enjoy

bowling, baseball, basketball, and many forms of exercise. I am an avid fan of baseball, the New

York Yankees in particular and enjoy reading historical and science fiction literature. My wife

and I enjoy cooking, barbecuing, and foods from all over the world.

Professionally, my near term goals are to attain Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP) and

CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP) certification prior to moving on to Cisco

Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certification. I will continue my studies at Penn State

University this autumn to attain my Bachelor’s Degree in Information Sciences and Technology.
