After Hours

“When not at the office, I spend my free time at the music venues and festivals around the New Orleans area. Enjoying live music is a passion of mine and the majority of my travel consists of going to concerts around the country. I am a homebrewer, and I frequently spend my time disc golfing in City Park.”
