What are your passions?

I think the most important factor to living a happy, fulfilling life is to identify and pursue your passions. An extra plus is to have a full time job that you are absolutely passionate about, where it doesn't even feel like work at all.

I would say my biggest passion is probably playing basketball. I could do it all day, everyday and be perfectly content. My next biggest would probably be music, rather it is learning a new instrument or discovering a band for the first time.

The thought for this came to me a couple of weeks ago. I had been feeling in kind of a rut, worn out from the 9-5 grind. I decided to bust out my old telecaster guitar and work on soloing, and before I knew it I was practicing at least an hour a day and felt great. It's a great feeling to see yourself progress at something you truly love.

I think one day I might get into teaching, maybe highschool or middle school and get into coaching sports. That seems like something that could be really rewarding in it's on way.

So what are you guys passionate about?

Man, I really want to get into golf. I'm getting married next year, so I need to get into the sports that take the longest....and Nascar isn't really an option.

It's difficult though, all my peers have been playing way longer than I have. The first time I played 18 holes was brutal.

Cooking. On days that I dont work I'm the sole cook in our house and I really enjoy experimenting with food.

Kayaking. Touring and flatwater, tried white water for a year or so and just it never took. In the colder months I go out once or twice a month but in the summer Ill be on the water 3, 4, or even 5 days a week.

Anybody can play golf, but it takes tons of practice to play well.

I've been playing since I was about 8 and really, really wish I'd played more when I was younger. My dad played nearly everyday and I could have played with him many times and I chose not to.

Boating.... I love being on the water, I love the tranquility of sitting at the boat dock late at night enjoying Chill on satellite radio while sipping hot tea. I reminisce the sound of the wind when I went sailing on a chartered boat in the Caribbean. I am working around the clock to hopefully set up a comfortable retirement at 42-44 years of age so that I can pursue a sailing lifestyle.

If I had more time it would be surfing and more surfing.

I truly love coaching and miss that. Its been years and it just came natural to me for baseball.

Reading, cooking, playing sports and writing.

But on a very basic level I flat out love making people laugh and to see things a bit differently. Maybe that's why projects mgrs get me to sit in on sessions because crazy ideas just flow.

Great topic.

      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
