Interests & Hobbies
I grew up in the Northwest in a large family. Much of my time is spent hiking and exploring the outdoors with my wife and kids. Challenge and adventure have always been part of what I enjoy so on a typical week you’ll find me meeting up in the early mornings with running friends, hiking a canyon, at one of my kids sporting events, or out with my wife catching a movie or out on an evening walk.

During my personal time, I enjoy trail running (and running ultramarathons), exploring the outdoors, writing, and reading non-fiction and philosophy literature.
