Life outside of work

Minneapolis-based, always curious, never far from a basketball game or a new recipe.

Based in Minneapolis with my wife and our two cats, Loki and Alfie. When I'm not managing projects or websites, you'll find me watching or playing basketball, experimenting in the kitchen, playing below average golf, or trying a new restaurant in the Twin Cities.
