Extracurricular Activities

Outside of work, I enjoy landscaping for friends and family, which has sparked my interest in pursuing a design career in that field. I also spend time outdoors with my dog or on the lake, which inspires much of my creative thinking. Recently, I have been bartending during a break from full-time drafting work- giving me a chance to stay social and active while exploring new perspectives. I am excited to apply my background in design toward more hands-on, outdoor projects like landscape planning and development.. Or if someone wants to sponsor me as a pro golfer, I am pretty decent and getting better since the days I was working in a golf course clubhouse while I was in school!
