Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined. - Thoreau
My favorite places I have traveled to are Scotland and Ireland. I was able to visit where my father was born, see where my grandparents are from, and meet a lot of relatives for the first time.
The most unusual thing in my office is a quirky, yellow coin bank. Feel free to ask me about the story behind it.
My favorite job growing up was being a YMCA lifeguard in the summers.
In my spare time I enjoy playing with my dog, listening to live music, being near/in/on the water, hiking, trail running, gardening, learning new things, and adventuring.
If I could only listen to one band the rest of my life it would be James Taylor.
