In my real life, this is what I do:
I spend every moment possible with my daughters, wife and mom. We like reading together, watching family movies and enjoying each other’s company.
And this is what I do for fun:
I like to go for walks with my family, visit nearby parks and teach my children new things.
My favorite writer: Miguel Cervantes.
My favorite book: Don Quixote.
When I have time for myself, I especially like to:
WRITE! I have been writing a book for several years, but have not been able to finish it. I don’t fully remember what “time for myself” looks like. One day…
My favorite travel experiences: Vacationing in Montego Bay, Jamaica, and going on a nine-day canyon hike in Escalante Gulch, Utah.
I would like to travel to:
British Columbia.
Three people I most admire:
- My mom and hero, Teresa DePrinzio
- My wife and love, Jenny DePrinzio
- My friend and mentor, Susan Vogelaar
On my bucket list:
- Finish my novel.
- Raise loving and respectful daughters.
- Retire with enough time and resources to truly enjoy all that life has to offer.
