WHEN NOT IN THE OFFICE

Outside of work, I’m driven by a spirit of curiosity and adventure that I like to think I inherited from my grandfather – a restless soul with truly wandering feet. When I’m not in the office, you’ll usually find me exploring on my bike, camera in hand, documenting moments, doodling ideas, and staying creatively engaged. Bikes, travel, and storytelling keep me energized and inspired, always fueled by that spirit of adventure he passed on.
