A few things about me (you might not learn on social media).

After 10 years away, my wife and I moved back to Seattle in 2015. We now have two kids under four, Kennedy and Beckett. They’re great. And messy. But mostly great.

When I’m not tending to kids or clients, you might find me tending to a grill. Cooking helps me relax. And I have a very strong opinion about how to cook the perfect steak. So much so that I may or may not have created a PowerPoint deck outlining the process. Embarrassing, I know.

What’s that? You want another interesting fact about me? Well, I once got bit by a monkey in Southeast Asia. He was really nice at first. You know, until he bit me. Silver lining? I’m fully vaccinated against rabies for the next three decades.
