Personal Interests

What I enjoy outside of work

Dungeons & Dragons

I've been the Dungeon Master of a group of 4-6 players for more than 3 years. We meet at my house every Thursday night at 6:00pm for epic adventures and storytelling.

Comic Books

I've been collecting comic books for most of my life and have built up a substantial collection spanning multiple decades and publishers.

Automotive Repair

I enjoy working on my 1995 Ford Mustang GT and 2001 BMW Z3 Coupe. There's something satisfying about hands-on mechanical work and keeping classic cars running.
