Interests

John is an active participant in his community. He volunteers his time to multiple charities. In the summer time, he and his girlfriend, Kelsey, enjoy taking their sailboat (Curmudgeon) out. They hope to sail to Rock Hall for a long weekend. Additionally, they go for rides on his motorcycle and trips in his Jeep. He's slowly (but surely) working towards acquiring his pilots license. He enjoys vacations to Fenwick Island, Tangier Island and other relaxing locations.
