I like to think of my life as a story in a book.
When I eventually go back and read mine, I hope it’s interesting. In life, there are always options. I tend to choose paths that feel unique and uncharted. It makes for a better story.

Ball is life. Literally.
For those who know me, there’s no greater escape than a basketball and a hoop. Finding something that keeps me grounded through life’s everyday pressures has been an irreplaceable blessing, one I hope everyone can find for themselves.

Be curious about your limits.
Knowledge falls into three disproportionate buckets: what we know, what we don’t know, and (by far the largest) what we don’t know we don’t know. Curiosity is what allows us to grow into that last, unknown space, and it’s often where the most interesting opportunities come from.
One thing to take away
By choosing to act on interesting opportunities, I’ve found myself working alongside incredible partners, Matthew Kauffman MD, and William Wulftange PhD, on a mission to solve one of healthcare’s most persistent and growing challenges: falls, the leading cause of injury-related deaths among older adults in North America. Being part of a team using a first-of-its-kind approach to this problem has been one of the most meaningful (and fun) journeys of my life.
