What I Do & Why

Frontapp.com

Athletics

I love finding new physical and mental challenges from endurance races to circus tricks. I'm always good for a discussion about training, and nothing ignites me like competing at a disadvantage. I also love sharing what I've learned and uniting people through fitness. See my blog for my Quaranturnt education & workouts!

Why Athletics?
I learn new sports so I can always remember that being bad at something is only temporary, it just takes work. 

I hone my favorite sports to develop mastery, to learn that breaking limits is just a choice, and to be able to help others who follow behind me.

Music

I sing. A lot. Do you have any requests?

Why Music?
Words are the best interpretation we have of the real world, but the true experience of life's passion and pain can only be conveyed when music takes words and creates feeling.

Product @ Google

I'm a product manager at Google. I joined (and returned to) Google because I believe the company is genuinely trying to do good things for the world, and I get to push my limits in a place that applauds aggressive curiosity. 

Why product? 
I get to solve problems with code and with people while leading with extreme ownership.

Language - Sprache - Idioma

I'm a conversational 5yr old in German & Spanish. I'm shooting for "almost literate 6yr old" by 2021.

Por qué die Sprache?
Learning a new language lets me connect with others, opens my mind to other cultures, and gives me a complex linguistic mountain to climb.

Real Estate

I've invested in SoCal and am currently working on building a repeatable business in Phoenix/Mesa, Arizona with my best friend Taylor. 

Why Real Estate?
The creativity of taking one person's problem and transforming it into another person's home is exhilarating. If I make a good investment along the way, then truly everyone wins. I care about the seller, my tenants, and my investors, so helping everyone in this age-old challenge brings meaning to what others may simply see as a financial investment.
