Activity
"I enjoy being outdoors, walking my dog Reggie or reading a book. My favorite thing is finding a new great recipe or restaurant. I love going to concerts with my friends and hanging out with my family. In football season, you can catch me at the local sports spot rooting on the Philadelphia Eagles."
