Made of atoms forged in the unfathomably hot center of supernovae. The sum total of 4.5 billion years of survival of the fittest. Wielding the fruits of 10 millennia of human technological development.

Beard-owning plaid wearer, part-time comedian, wannabe scientist.

I give you... me.

By day, a mild mannered engineer. By night, an improv comedian.

I'm plagued by an insatiable curiosity. I usually keep a list of things to research when I have the time. I'm that guy who knows a fact about whatever you're talking about and can't wait to share. I'm only that way because I imagine everyone else is as excited as I am about the etymology of pizza or the composition of rocky vs metallic meteors.

I love to build things. I think it's one of the greatest feelings in the world to imagine something, build it, then see it working for real the way you saw it in your head. From robots, to gadgets, to Halloween costumes, to home improvement, I'm all about DIY.

I spend a large amount of my free time involved in one way or another with an independent local comedy theater. Between preforming, rehearsing, and just seeing shows it occupies a big chunk of my week but I wouldn't do it if I didn't love it.

I once saw a moose.

Building gizmos and gadgets. I love to build fun things and see my friends enjoy them. I've been working on a long term project to turn my basement into an awesome dance floor/hangout room.

Trivia. Not just pub trivia, but knowing weird things in general. I read way too many wikipedia articles.

Beard growing.

Flawless bilateral symmetry.
or
Metallic exoskeleton.

I'm big on non-fiction books. Especially science and history and any combination thereof. I love Carl Sagan. The only thing better than reading his writing is hearing him read it.

I love the "so bad it's funny" genre of movies. There's few things better than having a few drinks and watching, and making fun of, one of those with some friends.

I don't watch much TV but what I do tends to be serial dramas like Mad Men, Dexter, or Breaking Bad. However, I will never miss a week of Community, the best show on TV right now. I will forever love and miss Arrested Development. My favorite show of all time is Mystery Science Theater 3000.

If I could travel in time to any point in history, how would I make a living there and what would I change.

If history suddenly changes so that the Romans invent the printing press, that was me.

How I can become a Mythbuster.

Out at a bar before/after seeing a live comedy show.

OR

Having bad movie night at my house. These have in the past such things as involved beanbag games, impromptu dance-offs, youtube video sharing, nacho cooking, and lots of other things that involve ignoring whatever movie is playing.

As a child I had a pet turtle that died under tragic circumstances.

Ron Swanson is my spirit animal.

You wish to skip merrily through a "having fun" montage set to Walking on Sunshine. We might run through a park holding hands, wade through a fountain and kick water at each other, or buy a balloon from a non-threatening balloon seller.

Seriously, send me a message because I hate breaking the ice and probably won't do it but I do love responding.
