He majored in journalism and minored in Spanish at Northwestern University and is moving to Durham from San Francisco, where he spent the last few years working on the PG&E wildfire bankruptcy, helping to facilitate monetary awards to individuals affected by 2017 and 2018 California wildfires. He is an avid runner, traveler, college basketball watcher, and Spindrift drinker.
