Personal Interests
Music Production & DJing
I moonlight as DJ Spinsky, blending beats and creating electronic music. There's something magical about reading a crowd and creating the perfect musical moment.
Adirondack 46ers Challenge
Currently working to summit all 46 high peaks in the Adirondacks. Nothing beats the clarity of thought that comes from a challenging hike and mountain views.
Fantasy Literature
Deep into Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere universe. Ask me about magic systems, worldbuilding, or why it's always "Journey before destination".
Sports Enthusiast
NFL, NBA, and F1 racing. I attended the Houston Rockets championship parade before I could speak, and have been enamored with sports ever since. I love the play-calling strategy, split-second decisions, and the incredible human performance at the highest levels.
