Sometimes I think of myself as a renaissance man. I like to be exposed to a wide variety of jobs/activities. I have helped develop a test prep business in Seattle, although I work full time in finance for a major company in Seattle. I love being an entrepreneur, and I love trying new things. I want to attend law school in the future, but for now I am content with my jobs and the possibilities they bring.

On another note, I absolutely love....and NEED.....to travel as often as possible. I love road trips, both international and domestic. I recently completed a road trip in Central America, which was awesome. I want to go to Europe next Summer and backpack for a few weeks. If you love to travel, you should hit me up!

I also love out doors activities, most notably hiking, backpacking and skiing. During the ski season, I am usually skiing every weekend.

Another favorite of mine is science fiction. I love reading and watching science fiction, particularly Star Trek, Star Wars and Stargate. If you can hold a sci-fi conversation, then we have to talk!

I have a part time business in the SAT prep market. We have made a lot of ground in the past year building relationships with schools on the Eastside, and I continue to set the groundwork for a successful company. My full time job as a financial analyst exposes me to a lot of fun projects and allows me the opportunity to travel.

My goal for the next few years is to attend law school. I am not sure the specific area of law I want to study, but I am leaving many options on the table. I love critical thinking and argumentation, and I would love to start my career with a law firm in Seattle.

I excel at writing persuasively and thinking unconventionally. I love to build relationships with people, and I love strategic business development. I enjoy solving complex problems, and although a lot of my work may seem boring to many people, I love the challenge.

I also really enjoy discussions about economics and finance. I majored in Economics at the University of Washington, and I love talks about macroeconomic theory.
