My self-summary
Christ... Ok, I have to seriously question the sanity of anyone who doesn't find this part almost impossible. Well ok, maybe not seriously.

I’m just over 5'7”, around 170lbs, dark hair, dark-brown eyes, goatee (sometimes beard), a casual dresser but definitely presentable. Intelligent, confident, witty, self-deprecating, considerate, honest, and a militant rationalist. Never married, no kids, 1 cat, very slight European accent (me, not the cat… the cat is a native English-speaker).

I don't club, and I'm not big on bars (dive bars can be ok once in a while). I also don’t watch a lot of TV, though I do watch a good amount of movies... Aaand that's where I'm going to leave it for now... I'll come back to this part once the rest of this gigantic profile is filled out.
What I’m doing with my life
What AM I doing with my life? I... am teaching Mechatronics & Fabrication at a SJ high school. It's... odd... it's like being in high school again, but with the extremes taken out - I don't have to do any of the really boring stuff, but don't get to do any of the really fun stuff either.

I freelance part-time as an Industrial Design consultant, and moonlight as a Curriculum Developer for companies teaching Mechanical Engineering to gifted children.

Then there's my band... Here are a couple of sample tracks:
Fast & Heavy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KFqFq4LXtM
Slow & Soft: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdRbWERe2OU&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL#

I have a load of various hobbies and interests, but most of them are rooted in music, technology, and combat sports (kickboxing, jujitsu, robotic combat... ... chess :P).

Mostly I just love working with my hands, designing, problem-solving, etc. Here's some footage and stills of a few of the things I've built, all packed into a "super-professional" Windows Movie Maker video :)

I’m really good at
Haha, oh good - the bragging section. Let's see...

I can design, build, or fix almost anything. And if I can't fix it, I can at least finish breaking it for you.

I'm TOLD I'm a talented musician, but... you tell me...
