EDUCATION: Southern Methodist University (BA), Texas A&M University (MS)

DAILY RITUAL: I try to exercise most mornings. Even a short workout or some light cardio helps clear my head and set the tone for the day. It's a simple routine, but it helps me stay focused, manage stress and maintain energy throughout a busy schedule.

IN MY DOWNTIME: I collect live-fire Civil War and World War II cannons. It's a niche interest, but I've always been fascinated by history and engineering. The collection reflects both how each piece has a story behind it and represents a specific moment in time.

FOOD FIX: A chili cheeseburger is my ultimate favorite.
