When I'm not designing products, you'll find me exploring other creative and physical outlets. Here are a few things that keep me balanced and inspired.
I've been playing drums for years and have been part of two bands. One of them got serious enough for live gigs, and we even have songs up on YouTube. There's something about the energy of a live performance that nothing else can match.
Watch on YouTubeI love riding trails, especially downhill. The speed, the flow, the focus it demands. Uphill? Not so much. I'm seriously considering getting an electric mountain bike to take the edge off the climbs so I can spend more time doing what I actually enjoy.
I've been practicing card magic for over 15 years. I love performing tricks for friends at birthdays, celebrations, or just randomly to blow people's minds. David Blaine is my biggest inspiration and I've learned a lot studying his work. I also collect playing card decks and have built up a pretty big collection over the years.
I've basically earned a PhD in pizza dough at this point. I make authentic Neapolitan pizzas the right way with proper hydration, long fermentation, and high heat. I love making them for friends on birthdays, celebrations, or any special occasion. It's become one of my signature moves.
