Harvard MechE, Wildland Firefighter, Youngest of Four, Local Menace
I enjoy just about anything that involves fitness and the outdoors; ideally their intersection. I enjoy romping around the mountains, car camping in sketchy areas, Jiu Jitsu danger cuddles, and underdelivering on unrealistic fitness goals. I also like to cook (I prefer to eat). Jokes aside, I am the youngest of four; I have two older sisters and an older brother, all of which I'm super close with. I study mechanical engineering at Harvard and I'm from southeast Michigan

Outdoors
On longer breaks, I maximize my time in the outdoors, particularly in the mountains. I love spending time in remote areas, especially with close friends. My outdoor passions include hunting, fishing, camping, and hiking. I practice my passions at the most extreme extent, with the objective of going far beyond the average recreationist, escaping the crowds, exploring deep into the wilderness. I cherish memories of gruelling treks to remote areas for spectacular views and hunting or fishing opportunities. And nothing beats sharing those memories with family and friends. much of my fitness objectives are inspired by these memories and guided by my desire to push deeper into remote wilderness areas.
Fitness
Most of my weekly free time is spent brainstorming and chasing fitness goals. My goal is to optimize both strength and endurance, which are typically considered incompatible. I enjoy weightlifting, running, swimming, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The picture on the left is from the finish line of my first sanctioned ultramarathon.
Family
I'm the youngest of four, and I'm super close with all my siblings. My parents are pretty cool too. I have two older sisters and a brother. I'm very similar to my brother, Josh. We look the same, grew up doing the same things, and have the same hobbies. Our main differences are that he got the smart and competitive genes, but I got the send it and grind genes. My next older sister, Rachel, is probably the one I call the most. She always has great advice. She's really into hot yoga, and I often go with her when we're together and I want to embarass myself. My oldest sister is a great chef and dog mom. Some of my most cherished memories were spent with her in the kitchen during the holdiays. My mom's the best, she drives all the way from Michigan to move me in and out of school, and I have my dad to thank for all my outdoor passions.
