I'm Andrew. I live for friends and family and I am always happy as long as they are happy. Kayaking, running, and soccer are my favorite activities. I studied electrical engineering in college. It was a good experience but I am glad to be done with school. I work at a tech start-up where we make all sorts of wireless gadgets. Work and studying account for a lot of how I spend my time but I don't let them dominate my life.

I am meeting new people in North County.
I am actively looking for a new place to live.
I help friends move in and out of their apartments.
Honing my engineering skills and learning how the business and technology world work occupy a lot of my brain cycles these days.

out with friends! Usually the movies or a restaurant. I have to make time for something fun every weekend or else I have wasted a precious weekend of my life ... and we only get so many of those.

I find it calming to organize things.
