What are your interests outside of work?
In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, socializing, creative arts, music, movies, motor-sports, yoga, meditation, sailing, skateboarding, and surfing.
How do you recharge?
I go surfing! Overall, however, the things I do to recharge varies. Sometimes I need to connect and engage with friends, family, and community, while other times I need a bit of space and solitude.
Do you have any pets?
I have a dog. She is a 10-pound terrier mix. She takes her job as a dog very seriously. She has also mastered the art of Jedi-mind tricks - getting her way with a singularly intense, laser-like stare.
