Hobbies

Training since age 5. Decades of discipline, focus, and the kind of mental clarity you cannot get from a meditation app. Martial arts taught patience, persistence, and how to take a hit and keep moving forward.

Over ten thousand jumps and counting. Freefall is the ultimate reset button — there is no room for distraction when you are hurtling toward the earth at 120 miles per hour. Pure presence.

Two wheels, open road, complete focus. Motorcycling is engineering appreciation in its purest form — understanding machines by becoming part of them.

Building tangible things from raw materials. There is a satisfaction in woodworking that software can never replicate — you can hold the result, feel the grain, see the joints come together.

The art and science of timekeeping. Mechanical watches are the original precision engineering — hundreds of parts working in perfect harmony, no electricity required.

Behind the decks or deep in production. Music is pattern recognition, timing, and flow — the same skills that make great software, expressed through sound.
