What’s your #1 travel destination, and what watch are you bringing?
Anywhere with empty waves or untracked powder! I’ve been a Rolex fan since I was single digits. You’ll find me with a Rolex Oyster sports model like the Sea-Dweller or Explorer II on my wrist.
What’s your go-to snack on a road trip?
It might seem strange, but I was always the guy to pull out a fresh cut watermelon or mango at the top of a mountain while backcountry skiing. Fresh fruit is always my go to.
What’s one thing you always pack that has nothing to do with your work?
Music is one of the most important things in my life and I have played guitar since I was 8 years old. I always try to take a guitar as much as possible. Maybe one day it will be my work. :)
