Interest/Hobbies
I’m a basketball junkie and sports enthusiast in general. If I’m not training, then I’m probably consuming basketball at some level, likely in my other role as a consultant for a college basketball analytics company. Outside of that, I love being outdoors, going to parks and beer gardens with my wife and two sons Nolan (4) and Callum (1), or golfing with friends. I also love going to concerts and seeing live stand up comedy. There’s always a time an place for kicking my feet up and relaxing, but more often than not, I’m on the move doing something with friends or family.
Philosophy
“Every man has two lives, the second starts when he realizes that he has only one” – Confucius. When I first heard this quote about five years ago, it really motivated me to pursue my goals in life even more intentionally and with more purpose than I had before. I believe that everyone is capable of real and tangible change or growth, and that it can be something as simple as a quote or a single day in your life that provides the catalyst needed to change your trajectory.
