I chose this career because I am curious and passionate about how the built world around me works. It is exciting to be able to contribute to that world through my day-to-day work.
What do you do in your spare time? Do you have any interesting hobbies?
My primary passion outside of work is playing music. I play in a few different bands in Austin as a keyboardist. I play many different genres, but my primary band is a soul rock group called Brother Thunder.
Outside of music I love getting outside, traveling solo, and eating tons of food.
Where is your favorite place in the world?
My favorite place in the world is either Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica or C-Boys on South Congress.
What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?
Santa got me a bird feeder for Christmas this past year and that has really changed the game for my backyard.
What makes you laugh the most?
I honestly love a good dad joke. The dryer the humor, the more I'll laugh.
