Favorite Vacation Spot: San Sebastian, Spain in Basque country. This recently took the top spot for me. Hanna and I took our honeymoon here and it is a foodie’s dream. Unbelievable beaches and charming streets with pintxos on every corner!

Favorite Sports Team: The Green Bay Packers. I’m a life long Packer fan and am stoked for the Jordan Love era we’re entering.
