Born in India, Amar moved to the US for grad school, and found his love for the great outdoors after moving to Seattle. He is an avid (albeit fair-weather) hiker, kayaker and biker, and tries to make the most of the gorgeousness that the PNW has to offer during the sliver of summer that we get. He loves to travel, with beach vacations being his favorite, and will never say no to good food. To pay the bills, Amar works in tech.
