Where are you from?
Born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona!
What’s your favorite thing about living in Arizona?
I love the weather most of the year. I’ll happily take summers in the pool and AC over a true winter.
What advice would you give people new to the Valley?
Take advantage of all the fun outdoor activities and beautiful patio restaurants while the weather is nice. Also, you might be surprised how varied the desert can be. It’s fun to explore different hikes like Pinnacle Peak, Papago Park, and Piestewa Peak.
Can you share some of your family’s favorite things to do in the Valley in February?
We always look forward to getting lawn tickets for a spring training game in February. This year, we’ll be taking our 3 year old son for the first time and I think he’s going to love it!
The valley has changed a lot over the years – what recent changes are you excited about?
I’m most excited about the current PV mall redevelopment project. It’s bringing a lot of amazing vendors to the area and providing new outdoor space to enjoy. I also live nearby, so I’m excited about the value it’s bringing to the homes around it.
