Happy Place
My happy place is with a camera and some scenic views! If I have the chance to fly my drone anywhere, you best believe I'll try! This day I almost lost my drone to a seagull attack, so I was very glad to land it back safely before it was lost at sea.

I'm always known for a cheers! Even if we are all drinking Gatorade after a long game of pickleball, it's pretty common that I will cheers to something. It's been coined by my friends as a "Stevie Cheers".
