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