Disc Golf
I've been playing disc golf more than a decade and have thankfully avoided the mass collection of discs I see some DGers lug around. I generally only carry four discs and typically only use three of them while playing. All the discs I use just happen to be from Innova, not that I have anything against other companies. The four I keep are a Wraith, Leopard, Shark and Roc. Definitely not skilled enough to need anything more or fancier. Remember, Disc Golf is a nice hike where you get to throw things!
Snowboarding
While in college I took a snowboarding class as a Freshman for a Physical Education requirement. I was immediately hooked. A large contingency of my friend group in college also took the class and we have semi-reguarly travelled together to snowboard/ski. I have been lucky enought to even work in the Ski Area industry. Getting to travelly for work to visit other ski mountains to snowboard might be a life highlight. During the '23-'24 and '24-'25 ski seasons I was fortunate enough to visit 16 different ski areas.

Amateur Radio - Ham Radio
I found AmRadio as a hobby from a friend who kept posting some of his contacts on social media. He was using a small hand radio to talk to the International Space Station. I thought that was pretty freaking cool. Over the years I've made my own directional antenna for both pinging off the ISS and long distance communicating while hiking - with Summits on the Air. SOTA is a club that helps incourage people to hike to the peak of mountains and make contacts with other HAMs
Board/Dice/Card Games
Growing up I was fortunate enough to play different classic games with my mother. Monopoly, Gin Rummy, Scrabble, etc.. Now that I'm older I still love playing those types of games. My board game collection is definitely not of the classic variety, but not to say I don't enjoy the classics and play Clue and Monopoly whenever the opportunity arrises. Some of the more modern games I've enjoyed lately are Citadels, 7 Wonders: Duel, Smash Up!, and Caper. Dice games are another favorite of mine. Yahtzee, Kismet, and Farkle are staples in my travel/brewery bag.
