I'm not a competitive eater but I play one on Instagram. You can also find me exploring different beer gardens and brew houses exploring wonderful craft beer. One of the things that I find to be less and less common are people that are willing try try new and exciting foods. I think the reason why I'm such an adventurous eating is because my background and heritage is so diverse, with influences of African, Indian, Spanish, Dutch and Native American cultures playing a big part.

I think the more I dive into the tech space the more I look to escape into the wild. I'm an avid bike riding, hiker, camper, fisherman and all-around city explorer. I enjoy outdoor sports year-round and dream of my next weekend getaway. When I'm not outside, I'm planning on going outside.

Trip planning is equal parts therapeutic, educational and just plain ol' fun. I enjoy learning about history, new cultures, food, and geography and I feel that the best way is to go out and (sometimes) get lost in a different place or in the place you've known all your life but see it through a different lense.

I'm super accessible and open. One of my passions in life is connecting with new people and learning about their stories and their dreams and see how I can help them. I've always had a skill for communication and I'm usually the weirdo on the street to that sparks up a conversation with a total stranger (I can imagine my parents cringing at me talking to strangers as a kid). Whether it's debugging or grabbing drinks (why not both?), the human connection matters.
