I'm a simple man with complex tastes. I enjoy fine wines and fancy dinners as much as burritos and cheap beers with friends. I love finding new documentaries that challenge the way I think as much as I love yelling at the screen when watching a terrible movie. I enjoy working at a computer for 10 hours a day as much as staring off into the distance day dreaming.

I grew up and went to school in Michigan and graduated with a degree in Electrical engineering. I moved to the Bay Area a couple years ago to work in Silicon Valley, a year in we were sold to a huge company and I've been working for the man ever since.

Also, I am a huge Michigan Wolverines sports fan, many would say to a fault. I still try to catch every game that I can, even if that game is at 8AM on the west coast.

I work as an engineer/linguist/consultant and I try to figure out how to those skills to catch the bad guys who commit fraud.

math, listening, dreaming

I tell everyone that I am the same height/wingspan as Russell Westbrook (he's a pretty famous basketball player).
