What did you want to be when you grew up?

I always wanted to do something that involved building things or spending time outdoors in nature. So aside from wanting to be an engineer, I also thought it would be great to be a park ranger or work in conservation.

What are your hobbies?

I’m passionate about sports, the great outdoors, and spending time with my family and dog. I love playing in softball and kickball leagues with my friends, golfing in the summer, and snowboarding in the winter. As a devoted college sports fan and Iowa State grad, you’ll often find me in Ames, Iowa—or glued to the TV—cheering on my Cyclones during football and basketball season. I also enjoy camping, hiking, and fishing whenever I can.

Do you have any hidden talents?

My hidden talent is that I can juggle.
