About me: I’m a mountain west transplant and have been loving Arizona ever since I landed here for residency. In my free time I love getting outside — whether it’s trail running, skiing, boating, or camping up north near Sedona or the Mogollon Rim. Otherwise you can find me attempting a crossword over a couple cups of coffee, hanging with friends, sneaking in a quick weekend trip, or losing in fantasy football.
