Personal
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and dog, and I’m a self-proclaimed sports nut. I blame this on growing up in a sports family, but it led me to play four years of college basketball. I was even able to combine my love of travel & adventure in a summer abroad, playing against professional teams throughout Central Europe.
Nowadays, I scratch my sports itch by participating in various athletic events with my wife, Leslie, and racing my dog, Willy (I always lose). I continue to play basketball at various competitive levels and COVID has made me more appreciative of the opportunity to participate in a variety of athletics. I have loosely picked up golf on the promise that I will one day beat my younger brother who is a former Division 1 golfer and San Francisco City Champion (amongst many other things). I’m very proud of him but adamant on beating him one day!
Now back in the Bay Area after a stint in Texas, I spend my free time with my family and friends. I enjoy watching the 49ers, Warriors, and University South Carolina football (thanks to my wife), and can often be found in front of a TV mimicking plays on game days.
