About Me
A bit about me… Both professionally and as a person.

This is me in one of my favorite places on Earth: Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Featured in my arms: our resue Chi “Mei Mei”. She’s shy but a good girl!
Hobbies include video games (I grew up trying to make them), health & fitness (running , cycling, hiking, nutrition, etc.), music and audio, and philosophy.
