Although I was born in Oceanside, California to a Chicagoan mum and a Texan dad - I call Phoenix my home. I moved here when I was young and I grew up learning to fish, hike, and enjoying all things outdoors! Growing up I played baseball, basketball and ran track - you can still google some of my times :) You can still find me on various mountains around the valley on weekends, watching movies, attending concerts and enjoying Arizona's sports teams (D'Backs, Cardinals, Sun Devils, Suns and Coyotes)
