Interests I love stories. I love reading and writing them, but most of all, living them. I like to travel the world with my wife, and explore the wilderness with our dog. I am happy skiing in the backcountry of Colorado and just as content staying home to write music and play my guitar. I love to meet and engage with new people, explore new opportunities, and relish the chance to gain a fresh perspective, hold a thought provoking conversation and build relationships.
