Schedule a Meeting

Where are you from? Bristol, New Hampshire

Do you have a favorite place in Tacoma? Titlow Park. My family and I have lived in the neighborhood for over a decade and I am always amazed that we are such a short walk away from trails in the woods, a beautiful beach, and a view of the Narrows Bridge.

Name a class at Puget Sound you are interested in, but haven’t taken. Alexander Hamilton's America: The Political Economy Behind the Musical. I love Hamilton, and I have a lot to learn about political economy in general.

What is a book that has been influential for you? The New Adolescence: Raising Happy and Successful Teens in an Age of Anxiety and Distraction. I've never been big on parenting books, but I'm all in on this one.
