About Me

I am an engineer by training, but switched into the global health and social impact realm about 5 years ago. I grew up in the Northwest and went to college just outside of Boston, majoring in Chemical and Biological engineering while playing both soccer and squash.

I am an avid outdoorsmen and partake in an onslaught of outdoor activities including, but not limited to, mountain biking, cycling, climbing, backpacking, skiing. I love to travel. My last two big trips were to Spain/Portugal and Sweden.
