Interests

Apart from being a 3D Product designer, I enjoy most of my time outdoors. In the winter, I tend to find comfort near campfires and read up on some of my favorite sci-fi authors. During the warmer months in Chattanooga, I enjoy playing soccer, free climbing, and kayaking.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring chef, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technolgy advancements all over the world.
