What do you like to do in your free time?

I enjoy spending time with my wife, daughter, and son going to parks, the zoo, museums, playing games, or (hanging) around the house. If I’m not doing that, I’m with friends, colleagues, or clients on the golf course.

What would you be doing if you weren’t an accountant?

If money wasn’t an issue, I would try to make it on the PGA Tour. If my family and lifestyle depended on my earnings, I would probably return to the family farm.
