Short Bio:

  • Grew up in the California central valley before moving to the Bay area for college. During college I liked to Swing and Salsa dance for fun and continue to be an active member of the Swing dance scene in Ann Arbor.

Trivia:

  • In high school, I was captain of the badminton team, ran cross country and earned my eagle scout.
  • I have driven (mostly) across the country twice, but only ever heading east.
  • My parents never let me have a videogame system, and thus I am garbage at basically all video games.
