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 reading
new nonfiction literature, hiking a canyon, or playing
with my family in a city park. During my personal time
I enjoy photography, running, and playing with new electronic
gadgets.
