A Bit About Me

My two primary passions are animals and nature, and I spend my free time visiting breweries with my dogs, riding horses, camping, or some combination of those things.

I have two dogs: a schnauzer-mix named Seymour and a cattle dog-mix named Juniper.

I was born and raised just north of the city of Chicago, where my family has lived for the last 4 generations. My favorite non-domesticated animal is the aardvark. My other main hobbies include embroidery, reading fantasy novels, and Barre.
