During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kumar discovered unexpected sources of renewal through birdwatching and gardening. What began as unlikely hobbies became meaningful practices of attention, patience, and wonder. These experiences continue to shape his appreciation for nature, stillness, and the quiet ways life teaches us to grow.

Across his work, Kumar remains passionate about formation, faith, communication, and helping people live with greater purpose, compassion, and hope.
