I was born…
in Tempe, AZ.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
it’s home. The people and the weather are pretty great too.
I’m listening to…
everything. My current Pandora stations include Calvin Harris, Thomas Newman, Vitamin String Quartet, and Top 40.
My family…
is amazing. They live in Arizona and I see them often.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Nostradamus so that I’m better prepared for my future.
One thing I cannot live without…
exercise.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
Anthony Bourdain or Hank Moody. I can never decide. And by “younger” I mean last week.
I’m inspired by…
life experiences.
The one person who motivates me is…
me.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
time and gravity. If I could control these two things, I could change almost anything.
The perfect day would be…
an early morning hike up Camelback Mountain(Echo of course), an afternoon by the pool, dinner with family, drinks with friends.
My first job was…
personal trainer.
My favorite escape…
a not so quiet weekend in LA, San Diego, Boston, Chicago, or Mexico.
My life…
is full of opportunities.
I’m currently working on…
finding a quiet place in the middle of my loudest year ever.
Always…
trying to be a better version of myself.
Never…
ask me for directions or how to spell something.
Favorite Quote…
“understand today but live in tomorrow.”
Biggest Dream…
I keep the big ones to myself but a small one would be to give a TED Talk.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
If I list all of them I’ll sound like a jerk.
