About me
I’m a native Washingtonian and have been in DC most of my life. I’m almost always on the go ―whether it’s at work as an emergency medical technician (EMT) or somewhere in the city even after I leave the hospital. In my free time, you’ll likely find me in one of three places: playing music, dancing, or playing sports. I like traveling, learning about good places to eat, and finding new music.
Why Washington DC
I love DC because it’s my hometown. But more than that, DC has the perfect mix of Northern and Southern culture. There really is something for everyone here. Do you want to visit a dozen free museums? Do you want to see a concert? Art? Sports events? Potentially run into a famous (or infamous) politician? You can do all of that (and more) here.
Where else can you find me online?

The Brig
Chill outdoor beer garden
"The Brig" is arguably the flagship beer garden of Eastern Market and Navy Yard in Washington DC. I love how I never have to wait for a table!

Julia's Empanadas
Delicious on-the-go snack
"Julia's Empanadas" is one of my favorite places in DC. While Latin food isn't hard to find in DC, empanadas can be, especially good ones...

There are a lot of places to dance salsa in DC, but "The Salsa Room" is one of my favorites. I like how patrons who show up are really here to dance....

East Potomac Golf Links
In the shadow of the Mall
"East Potomac Golf Links" in DC is probably my favorite place to play golf in the whole world. The view is amazing - and it's surprisingly affordable!
