Football, golf, watching sports on TV and BBQ! I recently built a file-cabinet 4-drawer smoker that actually works!

San Juan, PR. I had a fun childhood. Played lots of hide-n-seek with neighborhood kids, baseball in the street and riding bikes all over the neighborhood.
Where have you lived besides Puerto Rico?
I went to college in the NE, at Providence College in Rhode Island. I did my Master's at the University of Miami.
