I enjoy reading biographies, self-help and motivational books. I also enjoy reading on industry related articles. 

Cooking has always been a personal favorite of mine, and I enjoy cooking hearty meals for my family and friends.

Travelling is something that my family and I enjoy doing together and our wish is to travel to as many countries as we possibly can.
