Talent Acquistion, golf, and running in Austin
Personally:
I am an enthusiastic girl dad! I have excelled in sports my entire life and consistently pushed myself to achieve greatness in everything I pursue. Fatherhood is undeniably the most challenging endeavor, but also the most fulfilling one.
I am married to an incredible woman who constantly challenges me to be better and shows me through her hard work that anything is possible.
I am a dedicated runner who appreciates the tranquil and reflective state of mind that a good run offers. I aim to cover approximately 40 miles every month.
My newest venture is golf. I started playing in 2023 and joined Onion Creek Country Club. There, I have met some of the best people and have already improved greatly.
