When I'm not building AI models, you'll find me outdoors pursuing my passions
Back to PortfolioChasing pars and enjoying the game
Golf has become one of my favorite ways to unwind and challenge myself. There's something meditative about being on the course, analyzing each shot, and constantly working to improve. Whether it's a casual round with friends or a competitive match, golf teaches patience, precision, and the value of practice.
I love the mental challenge golf provides - it's a constant game of strategy, execution, and recovery. Every round is different, and there's always something new to learn.
Surfing, Snowboarding & Skateboarding
Board sports have been a huge part of my life - from catching waves in the ocean to carving down snow-covered mountains and cruising through city streets. Each discipline offers its own unique thrill and challenge.
Connects me with the ocean's raw power and rhythm. There's nothing quite like paddling out early in the morning and catching that perfect wave. I load up the 4Runner with my board and head to the coast whenever the swell is good.
Takes me to the mountains where I can experience the rush of speed and the beauty of winter landscapes. The feeling of floating through powder is unmatched. Whether it's a day trip or a camping adventure in the snow, snowboarding never gets old.
Keeps me connected to my roots and provides a creative outlet for expression and technical progression. It's the most accessible of my board sports - just grab the board and go.

Exploring California and beyond - from beaches to mountains, deserts to snow
Two rides for two different adventures
My Porsche 996 is pure driving pleasure. Whether it's carving through canyon roads or enjoying a spirited weekend drive along the coast, this sports car delivers an unmatched connection between driver and machine. The flat-six engine note and precise handling make every drive special.
My 4Runner is the ultimate adventure vehicle. Equipped with roof racks and ready for anything, it's my gateway to remote camping spots, fishing destinations, surf breaks, and snow-covered mountain roads. From Highway 1 to backcountry trails to ski resorts, it never lets me down. It's been everywhere - beaches, deserts, mountains, and deep snow.
Car camping is my preferred way to disconnect and recharge. The 4Runner gets loaded up with gear, and I head out to explore California's incredible landscapes - from coastal campgrounds to mountain hideaways to snow-covered wilderness areas. There's something therapeutic about setting up camp, cooking over a fire, and sleeping under the stars.
I love the versatility of car camping - whether it's a beach camping trip with the surfboard, a fishing expedition to a remote lake, or a winter camping adventure near the slopes, the 4Runner handles it all. Airing down the tires for sand and snow, setting up camp, and being fully self-sufficient in the backcountry is incredibly rewarding.
Fishing is the perfect complement to my camping trips. Whether I'm casting a fly line in a mountain stream or fishing from shore at a remote lake, the patience and focus required provide a welcome contrast to the fast-paced world of tech. There's a unique satisfaction in reading the water, selecting the right approach, and connecting with nature.
Fly fishing especially appeals to my analytical side - it's part art, part science. Understanding insect hatches, water conditions, and fish behavior makes each outing a learning experience. Some of my best camping trips have been to remote fishing spots where I can cast all day and camp by the water at night.
Exploring new places and cultures
Travel fuels my curiosity and broadens my perspective. Whether it's a road trip up the Pacific Coast Highway in the Porsche, a surf and camping adventure down Baja in the 4Runner, or exploring a new city, I'm always looking for the next adventure. Each destination offers new experiences, different perspectives, and memories that last a lifetime.
I love combining my hobbies with travel - finding the best surf spots, discovering hidden golf courses, exploring backcountry terrain on a snowboard, or finding remote fishing holes. The world is full of incredible places waiting to be explored, and I aim to experience as many as possible.
