Interests
Design & Build
Whether it’s a table for my home or training equipment for myself, I enjoy taking the opportunity to design & put objects together.
Photography
A deep interest that I’ve been pursuing over the last decade. I’m especially drawn to nature and sports photography, and most recently, I’ve enjoyed being the photographer for my local CrossFit box’s events.
Obstacle Races & CrossFit
I’ve completed the Spartan obstacle race three times, and I’ve competed in CrossFit events as part of a team. Doing activities like this motivates me to go further than I thought possible. These days, I’m focused on longevity and like to stay fit with HYROX training.
Running & Hiking
In 2025, I had the privilege of completing the Broloppet half marathon between Denmark and Sweden. Being in nature centers me, and running or hiking along the ocean, up mountains, and in the woods, is extra special to me.
