Life beyond work

On the trail.
On the court.

Mountain biking is a new passion. Tennis is a familiar joy. Both give me something to look forward to outside the world of engineering.

01 / A new passion

Mountain biking.
Every part of it.

I recently started mountain biking, and I’m enjoying it in every way.

The trails, the challenge, and the simple pleasure of being on the bike—it all makes me want to get out and ride again. What began as something new has become an interest I’m excited to make more room for.

02 / A familiar joy

There’s always
time for tennis.

Phoenix gave me the gift of playing year-round.

Tennis is exercise, discipline, competition, and joy in one place. It remains an important part of my life, now alongside the excitement of discovering mountain biking.

A little focus. A lot of joy. Two rackets trade a gentle rally across a green tennis court. The ball crosses the net and bounces once on each return, with its shadow following the court below. The singles and doubles lines and net keep their correct proportions.

And everything in between
