My wife and I are foodies and love to try different restaurants wherever we go. I love craft beers especially stouts and porters. For activities and hobbies, I am a huge San Francisco 49ers and San Antonio Spurs fan. I also enjoy playing video games and watching Japanese anime especially with my kids.
