Interests
In high school, my class squeezed Rothenberg, Munich, Innsbruck, Venice, Verona, Lucerne, Rhine Falls, the Black Forest, and Heidelberg in the Summer of 2013. I am currently planning a trip backpacking Europe.
Starting as a hobby with my dad, photography has quickly turned into a passion. I carry my camera around on every adventure and am guaranteed to take at least 500 pictures, so here's just a small collection of my photos.
Outdoor Activities
I love being outside as much as I can. Getting away is one of my favorite stress relievers. Between snowboarding in the winter, hiking in the fall, and wake boarding in the summer, I try to stay busy doing whatever I can outside.
Sports
Sports has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. My family spent our Saturdays going from one game to the next and our Sundays watching the Redskins. It can be tough being a Washington fan sometimes, but one day it will be our time.
