I think I'm pretty awesome. Hopefully you will too.

I love to play and listen to music, do and watch improv, be outside, exercise, read and learn how things work. I'm most comfortable when I'm creating something or leading inspired people.

I'm physically fit and fairly active, I can't stand being shut in for a whole day and I love the outdoors. I started doing yoga in the spring, not sure how I got along without it before.

I find it absolutely adorable when someone geeks out over something and just gushes information when it's brought up. If you do that, <3.

I enjoy having real, in-depth conversations, about life, the universe, everything and 42. I'm okay at small talk type stuff but it honestly bores me in comparison. But I'm far from serious most of the time, really.

I'm kind of a loud-nerdy person.

"Love people, use money, never confuse the order." -My mother.

Enjoying it, as much as possible.

Educationally-
I'm in my second of two Senior years toward a Bachelor's of Arts in Economics and a Bachelors of Science in Food and Resource Economics at the University of Florida. Considering doing a combined degree program with a Master's in International Business, or getting a couple of goats. Maybe an ibex.

After I finish-
I'd like to start several [edit: more] of my own businesses. I'm really interested in bringing greener alternative fuels to more people, and in improving the efficiency of energy overall. Or improving financial opportunities to people in industrializing countries. My ulterior motive for that is just putting together a group of really intelligent people, though.

As far as overall philosophy, though, I'd rather my income source be a small-time component that enables my life than my life be a small-time component that is enabled by my income. I like to do what I please, and be pleased by what I do.

On the way-
Grow and mature as a human being. I still find myself thinking "when I grow up", but here I am, so I feel like eventually I'll have to adapt to that. Plus, I've actually got school to do and a business to run and people to see and things to do. Goats might be a bit much to add.

The way my brain works is somewhere between limitless and catch me if you can. You know, except without the whole criminal element. Most of it.
What I mean- I'm very perceptive and have an excellent memory, and I can read a 200 or so page book in about 45 minutes.

Speaking in public. It's significantly easier for me to speak with 100 people than to one. I'm rarely nervous with an audience and generally nervous with a new person.

Word games (scrabble, boggle, bananagrams), music, poetry, writing (except for "I'm really good at" sections of online profiles) , opening tightly closed jars, and making puns.

I also love to improvise, comically, musically, dramatically, culinarily, anything I'm comfortable with.

Being sweet, being funny, thinking of a third thing when I'm listing stuff.

Probably that i'm a blond guy, or my above-average height. Occasionally my orating.

You may have seen me performing in an improv show, I'm in Theatre Strike Force. Beside that, I'm just everywhere. Downtown gaiensville especially. I can neither confirm nor deny that you saw me in a banana suit.

If not those, then probably my deep understanding and knowledge of [conversational subject we touched on], and asking whether or not I spend a lot of time studying it. Sometimes it's just easier to answer yes than to explain that I actually do spend my time reading and memorizing a bunch of frankly random stuff that I can then pull out on the whim of a hat.

Sometimes I feel like I should be using that power for something else. But then I read 35 pages of scholarly article on a subject I'll never take a class in, or go on a WikiBender and I'm happy.

Books, I like to read a lot of non-fiction (see knowing how things work), but I love harry potter and some inspiring biographies. I'm a fan of romantic-era poetry.
Malcolm Gladwell is one of my favorite authors.

Movies? I like things that make me laugh, think, or that have explosions. Put them all together and it's probably a Coen brothers movie. Maybe tarentino. I also watch very independent and foreign films on occasion. I would love to watch a movie on mute and dub in the dialogue someday.

Shows? Currently on? Office, fringe, 30 rock, BREAKING BAD. Cancelled? X files, better off ted, outsourced, arrested development, seinfeld, most other good TV.

Music? I like a really broad lot of music. It varies day to day but there are few musical genres I never enjoy. I have pretty odd tastes. I've heard most kinds of music starting with "post", except for "Post-al service"

Speaking of odd tastes, I'm a pretty good cook and I have a tradition with a good friend of making copious amounts of breakfast foods on a day that normal people would rather sleep in.

Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur.
(yes, that's a nerdy cop-out, and no, I cannot replace the phosphorus with arsenic, at this time.)

Why my socks can never seem to perfectly match. How to make the world a better place (by conquering and ruling it, surely).
If I'm forgetting something.
What I'd do if transported to another time period.

Either studying, live music (venue or house show), improv show (watching or performing), movie, party with friends, eating or sleeping (I do that, too, albiet occasionally.) I also hang out at the international coffeehouse at the Reitz.

I'm not quite sure if I really do know how to spell lieutenant.
Or address. Or appendices.

You consider yourself a nerd or a "-nerd".

You're interested in talking with me about my business.

You read peer-reviewed journals more often than you read glossy magazines.

You have figured out warp propulsion.

You know what Eka Pāda Rājakapotāsana means.

You are new to gainesville and want the best tour there is of this crazy town.

You wanna go somewhere downtown and engage in some variety of debauchery and board games.
