I live in the Santa Cruz mountains with my wife, our 6-year-old, and our 11 animals. So while there is plenty of peace and quiet, there’s also a whole lot of fun chaos.
I grew up in the water; swam D1 in college, competed nationally after, and qualified for Olympic Trials. These days it’s CrossFit, and I’m still very much wired to push myself and see what I’m capable of.
I love being outside; campfires, cold mornings, getting a little lost on purpose, doing things that make you feel alive. I’m also a sucker for movies, a really good book, and music that you play way too loud.
I’m also very into a good trivia night, unnecessarily competitive, fully locked in, probably arguing over an answer I’m way too confident about.
And honestly, relationships matter a lot to me. Whether it’s at home, with friends, or at work, I care about people feeling heard, clear, and on the same page. Most problems I see don’t come from people not trying… they come from things not being communicated well.
And if there’s ever a moment to say “I bet I can run faster than you”… I’m already halfway out the door.
If you like keeping things simple, getting things done, and not wasting time, we’ll probably get along great… and I’ll probably try to race you at some point.
