These past few months have been a blur. I’ve been spending an abundance of my time staying active in the outdoors snowboarding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, playing basketball and going for a stroll whenever I can.

2020 was has been a tough and challenging year for everyone so I put together some lessons from 2020 that I found helpful. In 2020 I lost a hero in Kobe Bryant, a close friend and my way of life. Countless people lost much more, and I can’t even pretend to imagine what that felt
