What did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be an artist.

Do you volunteer or participate in any organizations outside of work?

I serve as a volunteer board member for Good Grocer, a nonprofit grocery store focused on increasing access to healthy food in the community. I am also a member of the Mill City Running Race Team.

What are you passionate about or what hobbies do you enjoy?

I enjoy running, hiking, camping, and family road trips, especially visits to National Parks. I’m also a fan of Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx basketball, collecting sports cards, and spending time with my family on bike rides.

What’s a fun fact or hidden talent about yourself?

I’m much better at picking investments in the stock market than I am at picking sports cards.
