I grew up in Grand Rapids and attended MSU for Graduate school in the mid to late 90s. I currently live and work in Washington DC. When not at work I enjoy craft brewed beer, hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains, sailing, kayaking and photography. I'm a college basketball junkie with a borderline obsession with my favorite team - the MSU Spartans.
a fan of
Detroit Tigers
Detroit Pistons
Michigan St. Spartans

Detroit Red Wings
