Interests
Personal Interests:
- Alpine Ski
- Hunting & Fishing
- Fitness
- Learning
Growing up in Minnesota, I developed a deep appreciation for the outdoors—especially through time spent hunting and fishing with my dad, creating memories that continue to shape my values today. A ski trip to Park City sparked a lasting love for alpine skiing, and relocating to Colorado only strengthened that connection to the mountains. Whether it is skiing, hiking, or simply being outside, I find energy and clarity in nature. Health and fitness are also central to my routine—I challenge myself daily in the gym and stay curious through podcasts and audiobooks during walks. For me, staying active is about both physical well-being and lifelong learning.
