Interests

Outside of my academic and professional life, I really enjoy eating and working out. I started working out in sophomore year of high school, and started powerlifting in freshman year of college. To fuel my ambitions, I eat... a lot! I pride myself on eating meals larger than the average meal, quicker than the average person. :)

When I'm indoors, I like to catch up on the latest eSports news, NBA games, tech news, and anime. I enjoy playing video games here and there, specifically Minecraft and League of Legends. I also love spending time with friends and family whenever I get the chance to.
