Outside of work, I’m a father, husband, and cat parent! I enjoy being outside, reading, and playing (not particularly well) the guitar. I discovered in December 2019 that I enjoy traveling – just in time for a global pandemic!
My wife, Lindsey, is a graduate student in the School of Education at UIUC working on her M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction. She is passionate about social justice, education, baking, and finding any reason to celebrate. Most recently, she’s learned how to sling a mean espresso and is usually working on meeting her annual reading goal.
Our cats, Moby (grey) and Rory (black), are Urbana-Champaign natives and have been crashing with us since fall 2014. Next to naps, their main passions are wand toys and chirping at squirrels and birds.
