Away From Work
I am constantly striving to spend most of my free time outdoors. Whether it is hiking 14ers in Colorado, running marathons, or sailing the Aegean Sea, I am a huge fan of adventure. When I am not exploring, I enjoy spending time with my dog, Charlie, and rooting for my Oklahoma Sooners.
