Hobbies and Interests

  • Snowboarding is my ultimate passion and a source of pure joy. I love the thrill of carving down snow-covered slopes and conquering challenging terrains. Beyond the adrenaline rush, snowboarding teaches me discipline, quick decision-making, and the value of camaraderie.
  • I enjoy a variety of outdoor pursuits and adventure sports like mountain biking. I have been fortunate to be raised in a beach town and have access to all that ocean life has to offer - diving, fishing, boating, and swimming. This adventurous spirit has not only taught me resilience but also nurtured my ability to work well under pressure, traits that I believe are valuable in any professional setting.
  • My love of engineering has led me to undertake a number of projects through school and in the garage with my father. One of my most fulfilling projects was leading a team in the Electric Go-Cart E-Velocity Competition. It was an exciting journey of research, design, and hands-on construction. This experience not only honed my leadership skills but also reinforced my passion for engineering and problem-solving. The best invention from our garage was a boat/caravan "moto-mover" that my father and I built from scratch. It allows us to easily move our boat and caravan around the driveway with a battery operated remote to assist accessibility. Friends and family are always impressed when they see it in use.
