About Me

I like to laugh, mostly at myself and i doubt i'll ever get so old that it will be too loud.

I work in youth athletics for a local non-profit from recreational to professionally competitive levels of athletes.
I love live music of about any genre, as well as performing (I play multiple instruments, none very well). I'm easily convinced to do just about anything active. Favorites of mine are snowboarding, skating (retired semi-pro,) climbing, snorkeling (when I'm not landlocked) and mountain biking. I can just as easily stay home reading a book in English (or trying to read in Spanish), writing short stories or screenplays, or writing music/learning new instruments.

DO NOT ASK ABOUT X-Games please. Friends and family book that time a year in advance. I won't respond to requests for X-Games.

I can nerd out on the Marvel movies with the best of them! Also a big fan on Stanley Kubrick and Wes Anderson films.

I love Anthony Burgess, Fredrik Backman, and Nick Hornby, but I've also been reading a lot about management/leadership/coaching/organizational cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got a cut on my knee, over time the blood coagulated, the skin reattached to itself, and eventually I was healed. I'm pretty resilient.
