Hobbies
My hobbies
include working on vehicles and buying new parts for vehicles. I like to
prime, sand, and paint old cars.I also like to work on automotive
electrical systems, especially installing car stereos. I really like Chevrolet
vehicles, but lately I have added an AMC to my collection. Even though
I don't like Ford, I could respect their good cars(not the Pinto, Topaz,
Tempo, Maverick, Focus, Festiva, Taurus, Bronco, or Probe). Dodge gets
some respect too, excluding Charger II, Neon, Stratus, Power Ram 50, Durango,
D-150 Shortbed. I also like to work driving tractors on our farm for my
dad, especially Grandpa's old John Deere 2510 (an example of one is shown
to the left). I also enjoy working on the racing lawnmower with my team,
Tyler and Alfred. Our lawnmower is powered by a 15-horse Briggs and Stratton
Engine.

Future Plans
First, I want to graduate from Leopold near the top of my class.
Then, I plan to attend college to learn to become either an architect or
an automotive designer. When I have enough money, I want to buy and restore
old vehicles, as well as own my own home, but not necessarily build it.
Eventually, I will get married and start a family.
