    Interests

    Apart from being a product manager, I enjoy spending time outdoors between mountains and oceans. Over the last two years I've discovered a passion for long distance running and completed half-marathons, marathons, and Ultra Ragnars. Having recently moved to Salt Lake City, I'm excited to ski, climb (rock & ice), and train for my first Ironman race.

    When forced indoors, I spend a bit of time reading and cooking.
