Personal
Outside of work, I try to live a balanced life with a mix of sports, the outdoors, and time with friends and family.
- 🎾 I regularly play tennis and enjoy most racquet sports, always chasing that perfect forehand.
- 🎮 Gaming with friends is my go-to way to unwind, strategize, and share some laughs.
- 🎣 I am an avid fisherman in both freshwater and saltwater, but I am still hunting for my first pelagic fish.
- 👨👩👧👦 Weekends are best spent with family and friends, often around a woodfire BBQ.
- 🙂 An extroverted introvert - social and energetic when in good company, but I also cherish quiet time to recharge when my “talking data bundles” run out.
