About Me
I love...
- Spending time with friends and family
- Playing soccer and scoring goals
- Heated games of ping pong
- Trying new things (skydiving is up next)
I value...
- Being brave and authentic
- Spontaneous late night hangouts
- Giving whatever I'm doing 100%
- Enjoying the present moment
I’m an expert on...
- LEGO; it's a true passion and hobby
- Anything Batman and Star Wars
- Making my own pizzas from scratch
- Trying Benny’s 28-inch pizza challenge
I can’t resist...
- An invitation to get a bite to eat
- Bagels; untoasted, right out the bag
- Splurging on new LEGO Star Wars sets
- Using an excessive amount of ketchup
