Interests

Living in Seattle, I stay busy spending time with my family and playing outside. My two little girls are a spark of energy and keep my wife and I on our toes. In the winter you’ll find us in the Cascades hitting the slopes along with a cup of hot chocolate. In the summer you’ll find us swimming whatever body of water we can find while also getting in a few rounds of golf.

When I do get a little down time, I enjoy going out for a run, testing out a new recipe, or cheering on one of our many local teams.
