After being born in Albuquerque, my mom and dad moved my brother and I to Arizona when we were quite young. I grew up in the Phoenix area, playing basketball and baseball as a kid, then focusing on academics and music when I got to high school.

I kept both of those focuses after enrolling at Arizona State University, where I majored in Finance and was part of a four-piece indie rock band named “Breakup Shoes”. I also got involved in a number of other campus organizations and was employed at multiple internships throughout college.

After graduating in December, and before beginning my full-time job in July, I decided to set out on a US road trip that would take me through all 48 mainland states. I absolutely can’t wait to undertake this journey so that I can learn more about this country, the people in it, and hopefully quite a bit about myself!
