When you are not working, what do you care about most?
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my wife and daughters whenever they’re around. I have a passion for staying active, whether through working out or exploring new culinary experiences in the kitchen. I’m also an avid lifelong learner, always seeking out new skills and interests. Recently, I’ve taken up coffee roasting—a natural progression for a lifelong coffee enthusiast. It’s been a rewarding journey to explore the craft and deepen my appreciation for something I’ve always loved.
