Originally from sunny Santa Barbara, California, Austin now calls Portland, Oregon home. Along the way, he and his wife traveled through Southeast Asia, where they studied mindfulness meditation. That experience continues to shape his approach to life and work.

Austin is a proud dad to a son and a loyal dog, who frequently join him on the runs that keep him grounded. Whether he's logging miles on Portland's forested trails or digging into performance data from his latest workout, he loves combining his passion for fitness with his fascination for data to uncover new patterns and personal bests.

From an early age, Austin has been drawn to analytical thinking and data. Whatever hobby or passion comes his way, you can count on him to dive in fully, learning every detail and chasing mastery of the craft. That same focus and curiosity guide both his personal pursuits and professional life as a consultant, where he brings data to life through visualization and storytelling.
