I’m a native Hoosier living in Indianapolis, Indiana. I value my friends and family above all else. Outside of my day job, I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking with my dog Wilson, listening to music, catching a good flick at the movie theater, and hitting the town with friends. I live and die by IU basketball. Those that are close to me would likely describe me as easy going, honest and authentic (what you see is what you get).

I recently accepted a new job and am focusing on learning the ins and outs of my new position. There is no grand plan to where I’m going. Just taking it one step at a time…

Why is this such a hard question to answer?

Books: I admittedly don't read enough for enjoyment. Most of my reading is career related articles and blogs.

Movies: Tough to say. Anything Tarantino or Wes Anderson.

Shows: I am a passive watcher mostly. Love most of the HBO series... Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and The Wire. Sports, Colbert Report and Bill Maher.

Music: A little bit of everything. Mostly Deer Tick an Avett Brothers recently.

Food: I don't really say "no" to anything.

1) Family
2) Friends
3) My dog Wilson
4) Music
5) Laughter
6) IU basketball

Irrelevant topics like "what I would have done differently if had to do over again."

Hanging with friends.

Depends on who I'm talking to...
