Auddie’s roots run from Santa Barbara, where he was born, through Reno, where he grew up, to Seattle, where he now lives and thrives. Family, friends, and community are at the center of his life - as is a deep commitment to health and fitness that has carried him from the wrestling mat to the top of Mt. Rainier to the pickleball court. He bleeds for the Chicago Bears, San Antonio Spurs, and Seattle Mariners (you can ask him about that eclectic mix), and finds immense joy/escape in music. A true adventurer at heart, Auddie backpacked 193 miles in 10 days along the Camino de Santiago Portuguese route, a journey that speaks volumes to his love of the world.

Service has always been at the core of who Auddie is. Since 2019, he has been a Rotarian, even stepping into the role of Club President for the Reno Midtown Rotary club. There, he collaborated with local nonprofits, fundraised for charities, and rallied his community around causes that mattered. After making the move to Seattle, that spirit carried along with him, leading him to volunteer at Food Lifeline and roll up his sleeves for community clean-ups around the city. Beyond people, Auddie’s passion for service extends to the planet - he is an advocate for environmental stewardship, committed to keeping our lands and oceans clean and protecting the wildlife that calls them home.
