As of August 2023, I now live in Seattle, WA with my wonderful girlfriend, Anna. Together we love to get out trail running, gravel biking, rock climbing, skiing, and enjoying good food. Although I no longer bartend or work in restaurants, I still love to experiment with cocktails and food at home and especially love the art of fermentation.

Aside from my studies in Boulder, I was able to pursue many of my passions. I worked at the Outdoor Program at CU for the entire time I was a student and worked many different roles ranging from climbing wall desk staff to trip leader, belay instructor, and the Rental Center Student Coordinator. I was also briefly a member of the rowing team and Backcountry Club and most of my friends were a part of the Alpine Club and Climbing Team.

I was born in Manhattan, NYC in 1997, and moved to Colorado Springs, CO in 2004 after the events on 9/11 disrupted my family and urged my parents to move closer to my grandparents. I grew up in Colorado Springs where I learned to love running and being in the outdoors. I went to high school at Cheyenne Mountain High School and was a captain of the Cross-Country team, a member of the Track team, the National Honors Society,  the Science Olympiad team, and many other groups/teams.
