Interests

I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. In the winter, I am avid hiker. During the warmer months here in Colorado, I enjoy mountain biking, gravel riding and hiking.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements.
