I'm a huge science nerd and will often smile uncontrollably at the thought of the LHC smashing particles. I've been known to succumb to the Wikipedia phenomenon, which, as you may know, opens a vortex in time causing one to lose huge chunks of time. Want to learn about the Falklands War or the oldest commissioned warship in the US Navy? Thanks to Wikipedia, I'm the guy to ask.

I was born and raised in the SF bay area. I haven't done much traveling in my life, but I have always wanted to visit our nation's capital and go on a tour of famous European art and architecture.

Art is a pretty big part of my life. I went to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco for Advertising Photography. Watching movies and going to an art gallery is always an option for me.

I'm the art director for a creative video agency in San Francisco. We create commercial videos for businesses and have recently started making feature length films.

Right now I have to wear a lot of hats. Besides ensuring quality and consistency of creative elements for video, I also do set photography, script writing, website management, administrative duties, act as a gaffer, and much more. It's all amazing and I feel so lucky to have found, what is basically, my dream job.

...spontaneous humor and nerdy references. In a more practical sense, I like to think I can take some pretty pictures as that's what I went to school for.

My extra robotic arm. I mostly got it to open jars.

The internet, a camera, intelligent discourse, science, the moving pictures, and music.

...exoplanets in the Goldilocks zone, if the Curiosity rover is lonely up there, and how the Galactic Empire was so easily defeated by a bunch of teddy bears.

...enjoying a good movie with friends or saving Gotham from the latest nefarious scheme by the Joker. You're welcome.

r/aww is one of my favorite subreddits.

...you like to muse on cool science stories/facts, contentious political and social issues, and our inevitable defeat at the hands of our benevolent robot overlords.
...you knew what I meant when I referenced the "LHC."
