I'll try to keep this short. Instead of wasting your time with a terribly written autobiography, here are 10 random facts about me:

1 - I am currently writing this while in a hot tub
2 - I was voted most artistic of my high school graduating class
3 - I love to travel - I've literally been around the world, spent about a year of my life in China, visited 20+ countries
4 - As a kid, I wanted to be a zookeeper when I grew up
5 - I haven't actually grown up yet
6 - I'm now a design engineer, and I've probably worked on a product that you own
7 - Sports have been a huge part of my life, and still are
8 - I'm embarrassingly nerdy sometimes
9 - My usual is a White Russian
10 - Unfortunately my hectic work-life balance has made it tough to take advantage of my bachelorhood ( ... / charming personality / dashing good looks / incredible sense of humor / brains for days) since college, so I figure this might be a good way to branch out and meet new people.

By day, designing tiny shiny things. By night, winning.

My job. Sports and other active stuff (I still play lacrosse competitively, ski, bike, run, wakeboard, etc as much as I can). Artsy stuff. Grilling. Microwaving. Petting dogs. Coordinating dapper outfits. Daydreaming. Falling asleep in public.

Well let's see ... I've been told I have a handsome nose by a Chinese hotel worker. I've also been told I look like various studly studs such as Val Kilmer, David Beckham, Sergio Ramos, and David Bowie. So basically I have no idea, you figure it out.

Books:
I just "read" the Life of Pi audiobook if that counts

Good company. Good music. Good food. Being near water or mountains. Staying fit-ish. A comfy bed.

How to be a better person. Traveling and vacations. Food.

I'm either exploring the city, in Tahoe, in a factory in China, or couch potatoing like a champ.

I don't really have any deep dark secrets, so maybe I'll go for the most embarrassing thing I'm willing to admit?

Hmm ... Well, I was convinced that's Santa's elves lived in my sister's dollhouse until I was 6. My Christmas fantasy was shattered when people laughed at my "elf proof" during show and tell.
