I love video games (Elden Ring, Breath of the Wild, anything Co-op with a friend) and sports (basketball, tennis, sand volleyball, golf) but I wouldn’t claim to be good at any of them. I enjoy audio books (because reading feels too much like work!) — my recent “listens” were the Red Rising series and the Stormlight Archive series. Getting into a good show with my wife is tough to beat (House of the Dragon, Presumed Innocent, Jury Duty). My absolute favorite thing, however, is hanging out with my two daughters — Saturday morning doughnuts with dad is a tradition I hope sticks for years to come!
