Interests

Apart from being an Application Security Engineer and Software developer, I enjoy the outdoors with my wife, son, daughter, and dog. In the warmer months, my family and I spend the time back country camping, outdoor climbing, hiking, or simply relaxing by the pool. In the colder months, I enjoy watching movies with the family, coding, cooking, and indoor climbing. Additionally, my wife and I love photography! You can see our work below!
