Personal Growth & Outside Interests
Global Group Organizer & Individual Hike Leader Charlottesville Hiking Group
Charlottesville Hiking Group is a 1,600-member group of outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy daily
hiking and nature-oriented activities. I handle all membership-related tasks, including payments and
tracking, resource allocation, and assisting my Hike Leaders with planning and selection of their hikes.
UVA Co-Ed Softball

Home Life & Personal Time
My fiancée Jon and I share a love of cooking, so we visit local farms and dairies. I spend as much time
as I can with my twin sister and her son in Glen Allen. Jon's company has three offices in Richmond, so
whether it's wandering around Belle Isle, cavorting at Blue Bee Cidery, or taking in a Squirrels game at
the Diamond, we end up spending a lot of time in the RVA and really enjoy it.
