Interest/Hobbies
When I’m not at the WAC, I can be found playing cello, foraging mushrooms, spending time with my wife, or taking care of our cats. I have been part of an alternative folk-rock band for ten years and am a four-time WAMI nominee for String Player of the Year. I’ve even played Yo-Yo Ma’s cello! I’m an active member of the Wisconsin Mycological Society and lead forays for wild culinary mushrooms. We love tent camping and learning more about native wildlife and plants.
Philosophy
Fitness should be FUN, and if you aren’t having fun, you have to change what you’re doing!
