    Bull Riding School

    New Caney, Texas

    Many years ago, I went to bull riding school in Texas. Of my 30 person class, three or four went to the hospital. (Everyone ended up fine.)

    Motorcycle License

    Bronx, NY

    I have a motorcycle driver license that I do not actually use. But if there were a zombie apocalypse in NYC and we're stuck on a rooftop with only a motorbike to spare -- I got this. At least for two of us.

    Scuba Diving

    Advanced Open Water Diver

    I once ran out of air while scuba diving and had to emergency surface. Afterwards I laid down to think through my life choices that led me to that moment. That reflection is in the past. I still scuba dive every year.
