I grew up in Colorado, moving to Pittsburgh to attend Carnegie Mellon University for my undergraduate degree, before moving to Baltimore to begin my graduate education at Johns Hopkins University. I spent a few years in Boston while working at Amazon, but was drawn back to the Chesapeake and am currently living in D.C.

I spend a lot of my time biking around, occasionally taking pictures. While I do enjoy nature a lot, I am particularly into urban environments. Some of my photos can be found on my Instagram here.

I am a big fan of hockey, following both the Colorado Avalanche and Pittsburgh Penguins, and even play the game myself (albeit very poorly). I have even been known to set aside rivalries and support the Washington Capitals, in part out of respect for the many great fans I’ve met in Baltimore with a great love for the game, despite living in a warm-weather city without a professional hockey team.
