In brief:
I'm a goofy guy who originally hails from Redlands and the surrounding area therein. I grew up with a large back yard with a gate that opened to a mountain where I spent much of my time hiking, riding bicycles/motorcycles, building trails, exploring, and generally being out in the hills with friends everyday. I enjoy nature and natural people; hence I am slightly out of step here, behind the Orange Curtain.

I worked before going back to school, so I completed my degree in mechanical engineering just recently and was able to land an position here, in RSM. I just moved here (the last week of June). I'm excited to explore the area on foot, pedal machine, or dinosaur burning beast, and meet new folks!

navigating and driving. I always seem to be able to find my way around, and I have a great sense of direction. I don't think I've ever gotten lost. Consider me your personal GPS. I'm also very good at fixing things and have been complimented as being a "patient and easy-going guy."

I'm not sure. Probably my blue eyes.

Favorite Authors: Krakuer and Thoreau.
Movies: Anything Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, and Darren Aronofsky.
TV: Seinfeld, Curb, Arrested Development, Parks & Rec, Firefly, Louie, Workaholics, Breaking Bad, and Mad Men are some of my favorite shows.
Music: I have a pretty wide and deep taste for music but I don't care for anything that is close to being autotuned or overly processed.
Food: I am a strict vegetarian that eats a vegan diet 90% of the time. Occasionally I break for Pancakes, Cookies, or French Toast.

My five year plan. Largely I'm preoccupied with figuring out how to build an incredible loft somewhere in Orange County. I have this dream to convert a small, old auto shop into a living space.

Lately I've spent my Friday nights at home with my puppy, Jackie Brown. I like to do early morning adventures on Saturday, so I typically turn in pretty early.

you're fun, quirky, nerdy, and natural.
