I love many different kinds of sports — snowboarding, football, surfing, rowing, climbing, golf… you name it. If you let me talk, I could go on all day, sharing stories about every game I’ve played and what each one has taught me.
​
But what fascinates me the most is how different sports are actually connected. I enjoy applying the skills I learn from one sport to another. When catching a pass near the end zone, I tighten my core the same way I would during a 360 spin in snowboarding: catch the ball in midair, pull off an almost impossible flip, tap the pylon, and soak in the cheers.
​
In countless moments like “the back and leg strength I built from rowing helps me pull off more dynos on the rock,” or “the carving tricks from snowboarding making my cutbacks steadier on a wave,” no doubt,

sports shaped who I am.
​
Now, I’m not only transferring athletic skills, but also using cross-disciplinary thinking to build more complete and effective solutions to the problems I see.
