Other Interests
I am an avid practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), in which I have been training for over 14 years and hold a first degree black belt. Through the sport I have developed an emboldened sense of determination, perseverance and composure in uncomfortable situations, as well as building a network of life-long friends. I have also continually developed my coaching abilities, regularly teaching classes for up to 60 participants.
I can also be frequently found in the kitchen or attending to my BBQ smoker. I’m currently in the midst of a taco frenzy. Salsa de molcajete anyone?
As a life long learner and self-experimenter, I’m always looking to move forward in one area or another. Right now I’m…
