I just started working in the area at an aerospace startup and I really enjoy my job. I think I'm not as boring as the stereotypical aerospace engineer and I keep fairly busy outside of work. I enjoy spending time outside and I love to travel, especially to National Parks and international adventures. I enjoy backpacking, cycling to work, scuba, photography and homebrewing.

I spend a lot of time at work (especially lately), but I make time for all of my hobbies and friends. I'm from Ohio and I'm relatively new, so I'm still exploring the city a lot. I try to go on an adventure at least every other weekend and I really like road trips.

Being a jack of all trades, but mostly I enjoy fixing stuff and solving problems. I aspire to be a rocket surgeon someday... (not really sure what this entails)

Coworkers say they notice a hint of a Drew Carey resemblance

I'm kinda picky about movies but Once, Garden State and Idiocracy are some of my favorites. I don't normally watch terrible movies, but I make exceptions (Machete).

I don't own a TV, but there are a few TV shows I occasionally follow: big bang theory, top gear (definitely not the us version), parks and rec, breaking bad, it crowd, peep show, archer, game of thrones, suits

I listen to a lot of different types of music and will listen to anything that isn't rap (or at least terrible meaningless stuff) or country (bluegrass is not country), and if it is played on NPR World Cafe/Morning Become Eclectic I will probably enjoy it. Also, I spend a lot of time listening to other NPR programing (especially WWDTM and TAL). A few of the current artists I'm listening to include: Youth Lagoon, Mogwai, alt-J, Blind Pilot, Fleet Foxes, Haim, Fences and of course, always been a big fan of Dave Matthews

I eat pretty much any type of food and I'm not really picky at all. Ever since I moved to LA and am so much closer to fresh seafood, fish is becoming my favorite food

I am constantly thinking. Whether it be the next adventure I am planning, a project I am working on, scientific news or, sometimes, philosophical ideas.

Driving to go on an outdoor trip, out drinking with friends or, if I am completely burnt out, staying in watching a movie.

If I admitted it here, it would not be private...

You think we'd be a good match! Bonus points if you're outdoorsy, like watching independent films or you're an NPR fan
