I retired in 2023 after a fulfilling career in graphic communications, where I worked as a print coordinator, planner, and buyer for Graphic Arts Center and Nike. I also enjoyed the creative freedom of being a self-employed video and motion graphics designer before fully stepping into retirement.

I grew up playing tennis, and in 2015, I discovered pickleball—a sport that I quickly became addicted to. I've embraced tournament play with enthusiasm and love the energy and community it brings.

In 2024, my wife, Angie, and I made the move from Portland to Eugene, where we're building our retirement home.

I enjoy gardening, hiking, woodworking, chess, photography and pickleball—not necessarily in that order!
