About Me

  • Being a Northern California native, I love being outdoors and prefer the mountains over the beach.

  • I’m married to my best friend who, although we grew up in the same small town, we didn’t connect until after college. Together we enjoy weightlifting, racing cars, and eating a healthy dose of Costco popcorn.

  • I’m a believer in romance, having fun, and putting God first, family second, and career third.
