Personal Interests

“I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids. My children have brought me tremendous joy and are a source of constant inspiration in my life. More recently, I have picked up golf as a sport, but my game still needs a lot of work. I also enjoy spending my time reading, skiing, and pursuing various academic endeavors.”
