What brought you to Sierra?
I needed an internship for my degree. Andy Bley was my fraternity brother and he was working at Sierra so I asked if he could connect me with the company. The rest is history.

What is your favorite pastime?
I’m a sucker for the Jack Reacher books. The movies were ok. Tom Cruise was a horrible casting for that role though.

Where do you find yourself on the weekends?
Being family man and taking trips to Seabrook, near Pacific Beach.
