Did You Know?: I've lived in both Madrid, Spain, and Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'm passionate about sustainable agriculture, forest management, and good food. After athletics I hope to pursue a career as a farmer of tree crops (fruits and nuts). In late 2013 and 2014, I helped start The Local First Grocer, a small food co-op in Manitou Springs, Colorado that prioritizes local, organic, and healthy food. I have a large garden in my backyard here in Colorado, complete with a greenhouse and chickens. My family runs two summer camps in Massachusetts and Maine: Camp Nashoba Day and Camp Nashoba North respectively, the former I hope to return to in due time.
