Hobbies

My hobbies include reading, coding, exercising, enjoying craft beer, and attending Vinyl Night at the Brewhouse in San Juan Capistrano. Each of these hobbies gives me a different way to learn, relax, stay active, and enjoy my free time.

Reading

 Reading is one of my favorite hobbies because I enjoy learning new things and exploring different subjects. I like reading because it keeps my mind active, helps me discover new ideas, and gives me a relaxing way to spend my free time. Whether I’m reading for education or enjoyment, I appreciate being able to learn something new from a good book.
Vinyl Records Pink Floyd Album  One of my biggest hobbies is music and vinyl collecting. I especially enjoy classic rock and older music, and I’ve become increasingly interested in collecting vinyl records. I like artists such as The Doors, The Cure, Supertramp, Eagles, Boston, CCR, Bob Marley, and Alan Parsons Project. I also enjoy going to Vinyl Night at The BrewHouse, where I can listen to records, drink good beer, and talk with other music lovers. My interest in vinyl has grown into a genuine collecting hobby, and I care about finding good-quality records and building a nice collection.
Craft Beer Dark Beer  I also enjoy craft beer, particularly darker, high-ABV beers such as imperial stouts. Going out to places like The BrewHouse is part of the experience for me—not just drinking beer, but enjoying the atmosphere, music, and social side of it.
Fitness Exercise Bike  Another major hobby is fitness. After spending many years being inactive, I’ve become excited about exercising on my recumbent bike. I enjoy experimenting with workout routines, resistance levels, recovery, nutrition, protein, creatine, and supplements. I'm interested in becoming healthier while making exercise something I genuinely look forward to.
Web Design Web Design  I also have a strong interest in computers, web design, and technology. I'm learning HTML and CSS and working toward a web-design certificate at Saddleback College. I enjoy figuring out how websites work and exploring tools such as Dreamweaver, freeCodeCamp, and other learning resources.
Vehicles Engine Oil  I enjoy cars and mechanical topics, especially my Nissan Titan. I like learning about maintenance, fuel treatments, oil, batteries, and ways to keep my vehicles running properly.
