hi, future friend.
In the grand tapestry of life beyond the office, I'm first and foremost a father, basking in the vibrant company of my awesome family and friends. I'm an old soul, perpetually on the hunt for a creative outlet to sink my teeth into. Cooking, woodworking, photography, painting, reading, wrenching, you name it. It's my calling to eradicate boredom in any form.
​
I won't win any awards for my singing, mainly because I'm too terrified to sing in front of anyone. But I've got an ear like no other. Positivity is my superpower, and keeping cool is my modus operandi, no matter what life decides to throw at me. I've got a soft spot for all things vintage like cruising on my '90s Honda Goldwing, Gertrude.
But when it all comes down to it, being a dad is the best gig I've ever landed. It's these personal passions and connections that add a real zest to my life, making the everyday just as thrilling and impactful as my creative pursuits.
