A typical day in my life includes… Wake up, exercise (it’s best when I can go to a trail in one of the mountain ranges around the valley), work, spend time with friends and explore all the fun stuff to do in the area, then try to get to bed at a decent time.
I was born… in Kalamazoo, MI
My favorite thing about Arizona… Is the mountains. I moved to the Phoenix area for the access to so many miles of hiking in various mountain ranges in and around the valley.
I’m listening to… Big Wild
My family… is one of the most important parts of my life. I have an older brother and a younger sister, along with two amazing parents.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be… My paternal grandpa. He passed when my dad was a teenager, so I never got to meet him.
One thing I cannot live without… Travel. I’m borderline obsessed with traveling to visit friends or to exciting places to have new experiences.
When I was younger, I wanted to be… A professional soccer player.
I’m inspired by… My parents. The life they built for our family has taught me lots of lessons for how I want to continue building mine.
The one person who motivates me is… Both of my parents!
If I could change anything in the world, it would be… To improve solutions for those struggling with mental health or addiction challenges.
The perfect day would be… Full of friends, family, exploring the outdoors, whiskey, and steak.
My first job was… A dishwasher at a restaurant in Richland, MI.
My favorite escape… A few years ago, I lived on the Spanish island of Mallorca for about a year. I still try to go back to see the people I became close with at least once a year. That is, and always will be, my favorite escape.
My life… Is a work in progress.
I’m currently working on… training for an ultra-marathon. It’s a 100-mile race here in Phoenix in January, in the Estrella Mountain Regional Park.
Always… Trust your gut.
Never… Settle for things in your life that you know deep down aren’t what’s best for you. Relationships, jobs, anything. If you think you can do better, chances are you’re right. Take the risk.
Favorite Quote… “Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get the chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.”
Biggest Dream… A life full family, friends, travel, and freedom over my time.
My Pet Peeve(s)… Complainers, bad energy, and when people are unnecessarily rude to anyone in the service industry.
