Favorite quote: “Make each day a masterpiece.” – John Wooden

When I’m not working at SGA, I am: enjoying newlywed life with my Ruth, and spending time with our eccentric dog, Gravy, in and around Old Town Orange.  I also could be returning overdue books, camping at a music festival, browsing Asian supermarkets, or in the Pacific Ocean.
