- I have been playing drums since I was 5 and, for a brief stint while in law school, was in a band that gigged in New York City and California.
- When not on the clock, I enjoy spending my time playing (mediocre) basketball, hiking and biking, reading, and rooting for my Michigan Wolverines (Go Blue!) and Chicago Bulls.
