Interesting Fact:
Something interesting about me is that I am a competitive Minesweeper player ranked 217th in the United States and 1839th worldwide on Minesweeper Online. I am hoping to crack the top 1000 this year. I am also training for a full Ironman triathlon. I grew up with competitive swimming, running, and a few childhood triathlons, so this feels like the ultimate athletic goal for me. When I am not working or training, I am usually watching the NBA, cheering for the San Antonio Spurs, or watching anime, with Solo Leveling as my favorite.
