Young professional based in Madison WI, though I grew up on the east coast. I enjoy keeping active at the gym and yoga, and keeping busy with friends and boardgames. A couple other random hobbies include performing stand up comedy, playing the ukelele, jiu-jitsu, and practicing foreign languages(Spanish and Mandarin Chinese)

I'm always looking to try new things and see new places, and with a flexible job that lets me work remote I have a lot of opportunity to travel. If you want to know more, just ask.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once the best man at a wedding in China, having met the groom only one time the week before by crashing his bachelor party. I was also the only non-Chinese person in the entire ceremony, and ended up being invited to the mayors birthday the next week. Sadly I couldn't go because I was on my way to Shanghai. In Shanghai I was electrocuted and drowned (obviously I lived), but that's a different story.
