Interests
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. It is important that I stay active, which I primarily do by mountain biking, surfing, hiking, and trail running. I am also passionate about all types of fishing, especially fly fishing and kayak fishing. My love for the outdoors means conservation of our natural resources is something I value and support. In general, I am always looking for a new challenge or puzzle to solve.
