About Me

What do you like to do for fun?

I try to get to the cinema as much as I can to catch the latest movies, and I enjoy hiking and camping during the summer months. I'm also a lifelong Carolina Panthers fan – I watch every game, even when it's not much fun.

Where is the best place you've traveled to, and why?

I've been lucky enough to travel to Alaska three times, and I think the natural beauty there is unrivaled. My fishing and hiking trips up there are some of my favorite memories.

What's the weirdest job you've ever had and why?

As a teenager, I spent a month living and working at a wolf sanctuary in southern Colorado.

What's the best advice you've received?

Live your life with passion.
