ABOUT ME
My passions and personal aspirations
DEDICATED LIFTER
I thrive on pushing myself to the edge of where I'm comfortable, and then beyond that. One of the reasons I love Olympic lifting is the constant challenge. There are no shortcuts - it takes hard work, grinding, and attention to detail.
AVID READER
I love being engulfed in the world of a good book, as well as learning new concepts. Once I start a book I can't put it down. When reading Stephen King's "Under the Dome", I would have forgotten to eat if it weren't for friends and family.
CURIOUS EXPLORER
Reading is one way to open portals to new worlds, and traveling is another one. I love seeing the world from different perspectives. Witnessing the Northern Lights in the Alaskan wilderness felt both magical and humbling.
