With interest in psychology, I’m a proud supporter of veterans and greatly appreciate their noble sacrifices for the freedoms we enjoy today. I enjoy drawing, comics/ fantasy books, and sci-fi shows such as Star Wars and Supernatural. My favorite pastime is going to the races, and I think the positive experience can strengthen a veteran’s emotional well-being. I sincerely believe veterans who are around like-minded individuals enjoying the sport will benefit from the comradery of their brothers and sisters. I want to be part of the solution as a volunteer board member.
