When I'm not working

hobbies, hangouts, and small obsessions

I like to hike, I go on runs, I go to the gym, I go fishing, I catch Lakers games, and I play pickup wherever my friends are down. I'm always on the hunt for the next great restaurant and I want to set foot on every continent on Earth. Currently I'm building Tap, a social media app. Follow along!
