Outside BERK
Juan is rarely ever in one place for a long time. On the weekends, you will likely find him driving to a scenic destination somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, taking pictures of the sunset, and constantly analyzing the design and zoning of the towns and neighborhoods he visits. He also spends a lot of time with his family in Tumwater, after being raised in a multi-generational household there. Juan enjoys hiking in National Parks, frequenting his usual food spots, and spending time with all his friends.
