In his free time, Reid loves to be outdoors, whether it is running, biking, hiking, or just playing Frisbee. Other interests he has are exercise, singing, axe throwing, and learning to play new instruments (currently he can play trumpet, a couple songs on the harmonica, a bit of drums, and very little guitar), and photography.
