About

My pursuits, hobbies, and interests that don't show up on a resume

Health & Fitness

My whole life I grew up playing sports, having stints in soccer, swimming, tae kwon do, gymnastics and more. When I got to college I really began to enjoy more individual sports, and eventually completed my first half marathon in June of my second year. Since then I've dived into triathlon training. Most weeks that means swimming, biking, running, and lifting 3 times each. Upcoming races:

Music

Music has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I really began exploring more music and curating my taste when I was a freshman in high school and got into skating. There was always something playing, either in my headphones or whatever my friends had on, and since then it's been one of the most influential aspects of my character.

Personal Involvement with Music

I'd always been determined to learn how to play music myself, and was always interested in the guitar when I was young. Since I've learned it I've been learning how to play the piano and use studio tools to build and mix music.

  • Playing acoustic guitar at a campsite
  • Playing guitar on the couch with family

Traveling

I grew up very curious about the world, and I was able to start venturing off on my own when I began working in high school. Traveling has taught me so much about other regions and ways of life, and I have an obsession with seeing as much of the world as I can. Here's where I've been so far:

Reading

The pursuit of knowledge is something I've always wanted to be a part of, but reading wasn't a hobby I was into as a kid. I picked it up as a second year in college and have been hooked on expanding my view ever since. Here's what I'm reading now, what's to be started, and a few I've already finished.
