I’m a total tech nerd, with a heavy dose of Mac and Apple obsession. Family, friends, love and laughter drive me to be who I am and I enjoy the quiet/simple moments that life has to offer in between all the chaos — which I guess is a little funny considering the tech-based career path I have chosen.
Head: I feel fulfilled when I accomplish something and am able to build something with my hands. Whether it's learning a new skill, creating something for a client or finishing my latest woodworking project in the garage in my spare time. I also like to make well informed decisions and won’t (typically) take a leap of faith that’s too big on anything.
Heart: There is nothing better than seeing a smile or genuine happiness on my kids’ faces. Family is everything and the reason I get up every morning. We love to laugh in our house and try to not take life too seriously. We even have a running gag where we periodically try to jump out and scare the pants off each other. Laughter goes a long way.
Gut: I love most things spicy; chili, wings, Mexican, Chinese, even salads (crushed red pepper on caesar salad is amazing). Pizza is flat out delicious unless you’re a savage monster and eat it with pineapple on top. Unfortunately, I love candy and my sweet tooth also knows very few boundaries. Except Almond Joy… those unholy creations belong next to the orange Circus Peanuts in a deep dark cave never to be seen again.
Feet: Frisbee golf and downhill skiing are my jams. I’ll ski for as long as my body will let me, and then probably a few more times after that until I’m completely broken. I love old buildings and architecture, and also exploring the places that few people get the chance to see. Although I don’t get around to it as often as I’d like too, a peaceful hike in the woods or somewhere quiet can do wonders.
Always: Be thankful. Be forgiving. Love yourself and your family. And by all means, enjoy the moment.
Never: This bears repeating, never eat pineapple on pizza.
Favorite Quote: “It's supposed to be a challenge, that's why they call it a shortcut. If it was easy it would just be called ‘The Way’.”
