"In my free time, I enjoy activities that keep me in shape. My favorite activities are riding dirt bikes, trail running, and rock climbing. When the weather is bad, and I cannot do those activities, I enjoy working on projects around my house, cooking, and reading true-crime novels. As a physician assistant for the past six years, I have found doing the things I love on my days off is a very healthy balance between my personal and professional life."
