I am happiest when I am experiencing something new and leading an active lifestyle. I just believe that the world is an awesome place and I don't want to miss out on it.

I'm not a breakfast food person. I much rather have a hamburger at 7am (if I'm even awake yet). I guess while I'm on this topic I'm also not a morning person which hasn't been fun when waking up for work.

I'm a mechanical engineer for a tiny company, so everyday is spent learning something new. I like the variety it provides, some days behind a desk, others running around the shop.

In my spare time I've been exploring the different neighborhoods in the area by trying all the local BBQ restaurants, checking out different music venues, and whenever else possible leaving the city to go hiking, skiing, or kayaking.

Packing a car. I think of it as real life tetris, except you always win.

Ignoring bad restraunt reviews and regretting it later. I had the worst food of my life doing this.

Books: The Rama series, Ender series, Foundation series, pretty much anything that's action-adventure, sci-fy, mystery, or even better, all of those combined.

Shows: Frasier, Seinfeld, The League, It's always sunny in Philadelphia, How it's made, Arrested Development

Music: Anything BUT R&B or country. I do seem to drift towards the dance or heavy rock genres though.

Food: Lately BBQ has been near the top of my list.

Where I want to travel to next. Right now the next trip is to Hawaii in May.

Riding my motorcycle to Argentina. For some reason is just sounds like an awesome time.

It varies from riding my bicycle around the city to wearing a wedding dress to bars in Capital Hill.

It took me until high school to learn how to spell "business". I'm pretty sure that without spell check I would be banned from writing on the internet.

You want to go to the beach sometime soon, enjoy adventures, and/or love puppies.
