My passions include and are not limited to: Road and mountain biking, golfing, playing soccer, skiing/ snowboarding and numerous other outdoor activities. Musically, I play the piano. I have completed a 70.3 Ironman, the 2019 Chicago Marathon, 2020 Virtual New York City Marathon, 2022 NYC Marathon and am hopeful to run the Berlin Marathon in 2024.

I proudly was accepted into the peer mentor program with the University of Michigan and certified as a Donor Peer Mentor, helping guide kidney donors and recipients through the donation/recovery process. I am also a part of the Be The Match Registry, waiting for the opportunity to become a bone marrow donor, whenever my match finds me
