Hobbies

You might describe me as granola goth. I love surfing, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, martial arts, and strength training. I'm currently studying for my SSC as an apprentice at Starting Strength Boise. When I'm not in the gym or outside, I enjoy horror movies, playing Soulsborne games with my wife, and talking her ear off about 40K lore.
