In my day-to-day life, I’m a conversation and leadership coach working on my MS in psychology. When I have the time, I love fly fishing and exploring the forests, rivers, and streams in the beautiful mountains around Asheville, NC. When I can’t get outside, I play EQ2 or drive the household crazy playing my guitar and banjo.
