Personal Hobbies / Projects

One passion I have is fly fishing for wild trout. I like to go as often as I can to the blue ribbon waters of southern Utah. I even tie my own flies!  

One goal that my family has is to visit every U.S. national park. We have visited 26 of the current 63 so far, Dry Tortugas has been our favorite so far.  

Another project that I am a part of is video game development. We are avidly working to release our first playable demo. Check it out here: https://steelyourselfstudios.com  

I partake in amateur astronomy. I have a beginner telescope that I use when camping (often on fishing trips). Interestingly enough, astronomy uses many optical principles used in interferometry!  

In my spare time I sometimes enjoy oil painting. I am by no means an expert, but love a good Bob Ross landscape.  

Before engineering I was a Division I baseball player. I even played with/against some big leaguers (Bryce Harper and Kris Bryant to name two!) but still very much enjoy watching.
