General Interests: If you ever need help building IKEA furniture, don't call me.  I love to help people whenever I get a chance! Also, if you ever need a friend to have a deep conversation with you about anything I will be there in a rush. I am definitely more of a meal prep kind of guy than a daily cooker. I'll share anything I cook but no guarantee your taste buds will give it a 5 star rating. Currently am working on adding more Korean recipes to the repertoire. Ball is life. More than happy to lose my money to you in fantasy football every year.
