How do you stay active?

Because I do not have a dog of my own (…yet), I stay active by stealing all of my friends dogs to take on walks or hikes. While I am not with the fur balls, I enjoy skiing, indoor climbing, and sand volleyball during the winter, while in the summer you can find me surfing, wake surfing, or hiking 14ers.

My bucket list includes:

In 2018 I would like to:
1. Be able to hold a handstand for 60 seconds
2. Take a trapeze class
3. Read at least one book per month
4. Have all of my friends gather at a sushi restaurant and spread out in groups throughout the room, then start a drum-line with chopsticks.

What’s your secret talent that nobody knows about?

I have a creative flare for arranging flowers and have executed many beautiful weddings!
