Tell us something interesting about you: My family and I spend a couple weeks every summer at a cabin in Canada that my grandparents built in the ’50s. There is no road access, indoor plumbing, or phone service – just the cabin, the forest, and a beautiful lake.
Most embarrassing moment: In first grade, I decided to enter the elementary school talent show. We had to perform in front of the whole school, and everyone had a cool talent or routine. I just shot tennis balls into a hockey net. It was pretty embarrassing.
Describe your style: Pretty plain, I usually go for a solid color t-shirt and jeans or khakis. I try not to wear sweatpants much because I think it gives the impression that you’re not trying. In general, I try not to be too outrageous… except for my socks
Best book you’ve ever read: My dad gave me a book that contains both Epictetus’ Enchiridion and the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. You can flip to literally any page in either of them and find something awesome.

Future Plans: Make the most of life, smile a lot, and build my street cred.
