You’re not all scripts and servers all the time. What’s one underrated hobby or passion you pursue outside IT that surprises people when you mention it? 

It could be something totally unexpected (any astrophotographers or ant farmers out there?) or something more lowkey that helps you unwind after a long day.

I’ll start: I enjoy training my 1.5 year old Golden Retriever named Gravy! It’s fun to teach him new tricks and skills. Sometimes they’re helpful in real life and sometimes they’re not. :)
