Philly + Penn State: I’m a die-hard Philadelphia and Penn State sports fan, loyal through the great seasons and the painful ones.SPORTS
Golf, Snow + Water: I like golfing and snowboarding, and I love being in or around the water: on a lake, at the beach, or anywhere in between.OUTDOORS
Always learning: I’m always learning something new about energy, technology, and AI, usually by following a question further than I planned.CURIOSITY
In my headphones: I listen to a lot of podcasts about business, entrepreneurship, startups, and how people turn ideas into companies.PODCASTS
