My Passions.

Life is too short to pursue just one passion. Here are the activities, hobbies, and interests that bring me joy, challenge me, and help me grow.

Ultra Marathon Running

Pushing my limits across mountains, deserts, and trails in races beyond the marathon distance.

A long-running love affair with Japan — the language, the food, the slow rituals, the trips that never feel long enough.

Gaming
From retro consoles to modern RPGs — the games, runs, and collections that have kept me hooked over the years.
Building Things
Mostly software — but also a van slowly turning into a camper. The shared thread is shipping something tangible.
Anime
Series and films that have stuck with me — from slice-of-life slow burns to studio-defining classics.
