Hand model by day, asleep by night.

I love canoeing and camping or fiction novels. I'm also a fan of arguing with Siri. I always win.

Child me once thought it would be a good idea to play hide-and-go-seek with my parents without telling them we were playing. The policemen they called disagreed with that assessment.

Burt Reynolds is my spirit animal.

All of the above are a great summary of myself without using any painfully overused buzzwords.

So far as work goes: I am still excited daily by the challenges in my job (Project/Program Management at a tech company,) so I either chose the right line of work or the honeymoon period for this job lasts at least two years.

When it comes to my career, I'm definitely ambitious. I strive to give my best every day and focus on what I can do to push myself and my team to the next level.

In my spare time, I'm picking back up the piano, taking some glass blowing courses, or sampling a new craft beer. Always looking for new cerebral hobbies. I'm also working on my scuba certification.

Balancing my checkbook, whistling, critical thinking, fixing computers, interpretive dance, public speaking. Someone at work compared watching me on excel to watching a maestro on the piano. Probably the high point of my entire life. You're probably thinking that's a great pick-up line, but it doesn't work as well as you'd think.

I'm also generally good with maps and directions. If it were still a viable career choice, I'd have probably been an explorer or cartographer. This is a valuable skill while traveling.

I'm also really good at trying to be funny. You know, the kind of funny where everyone groans.

Physically - I'm often confused for the Old Spice guy. It's a curse and a curse.

Personality - I'd like to think that I'm kind.

I'll try to be brief.

Sriracha sauce. I would estimate approximately 90% of all conscious and unconscious thoughts are about that fiery, red gift from God.

Watching a movie, at a concert, or having a chill night in with a book, movie, or other method of entertainment.

I hadn't had nutella until 2012. I don't know how and I don't know why. It's probably the most embarrassing thing about me.

You know a good concert to hit up, a dive bar, or other San Antonio gem that a non-native might have missed! Or if you watch Archer.
