Your Notes

Edit your notes

I am motivated, thoughtful, and meticulous.

My Self-Summary

I am an active member of the UCI Sailing Association. I graduated UCI with degrees in Physics and Mathematics, and a minor in Information and Computer Science. I work as a software developer.

For more, see my MySpace profile. It is somewhat dated, but it has nice pictures.

What I’m doing with my life

I am a computer programmer at a small software company which provides automation software to central stations monitoring alarm systems. My main project is a framework to render a web application described in metadata by other programmers.

I also greatly enjoy sailing, especially racing. I am currently the Shields Fleet Captain of the UCI Sailing Association, and was previously the Capri Fleet Captain. With six boats and many skilled and experienced skippers, UCI's 30 foot Shields form the core of one of the most fun one-design racing fleets in Newport Harbor.

I’m really good at

Physics, Mathematics, Programming, Sailing

Completing a man overboard drill on a Shields with a spinnaker at night with crew I had just trained to sail with a spinnaker.

Setting up a windward-leeward race course from a Capri 14, single-handed. You would think it would be easier from a Boston whaler, but driving a motor boat just doesn't give me that same feel for the wind that lets me get the starting line just right.

Sailing a Shield back to the sailbase with the jib only after the boom detaches from the mast. I missed 5 races in the Turkey Day Regatta to demonstrate that I am good at that.

The first things people usually notice about me

People think I look like Jesus, because I have a beard and long hair. Those who know my family better realize that my brother looks like Jesus and I look like Moses.

Once after a sailboat race, a guy at the yacht club told me I looked like Jesus. So I asked him, "If I'm Jesus, how come we came in third?" He apparently thought that was the funniest thing he had ever heard, but I suspect alcohol played a huge role in his reaction.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books by Terry Pratchett, Douglass Adams, Isaac Asimov

Movies: Star Wars, Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail, The Princess Bride, movies by Mel Brooks

Music: Classical, Classic Rock

Bonus Category Web Comics (including print comics I read in online archives): XKCD, Dilbert, ShortPacked, Order of the Stick, FoxTrot, Basic Instructions, Ctrl+Alt+Delete, Dr. McNinja

Food: Sushi, other seafood, Mexican, spicy food
My favorite meals I make at home are turkey stir fry and tuna salad. By tuna salad, I do not mean adding mayonnaise to tuna, I mean an actual salad with spinach and tomatoes and other tasty veggies. I have been known to make tofu stir fry for my vegan friends.
I tend to avoid foods with refined sugar. High fructose corns syrup is right out.

The six things I could never do without

1. Humor

2. Challenge

3. Sailing

4. Intelligence

5. Honesty

6. Good food

7. Disregard for the intended size of a list

I spend a lot of time thinking about

What kind of sailboat I would like to own one day. It should be fast and it should should be comfortable for off shore cruising. I like to dream up ways of putting hydrofoils on a big boat. I also want to figure out how to make a boat that can switch between a traditional sail plan and kite sailing, without making a huge mess of the rigging.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Before the start of a race, I will allow dolphins to distract me from analyzing which side of the course is favored, even if it annoys my tactician. Once the race is started, though, I will ignore them.
