I was born in SoCal, but am firmly a Silicon Valley guy after several stops along the way in the Midwest, Sonoma County, and the Central Coast, among others.

I'm a proud geek that likes to stay active. I break up my work day at my engineering job with a lunch at the gym doing the workout of the day and after work I'm often found at the ice rink playing a hockey game or practicing my skating.

I'm a software engineer for mid sized tech company in Sunnyvale. It's an interesting job and I work with a lot of awesome people!

I also play in an adult hockey league in San Jose. My team won our championship last season after winning only one game the year before. Definitely an improvement!

Showing off at the ice rink during public skate.
Cheering at Sharks games.
Getting any cat ever to like me.

My perfectly round shaved head, and that I'm having a great time at whatever I happen to be doing.

How many licks would it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop if that stupid owl didn't bite it.

Going out to a nice pub, having a board/video game night, watching a Sharks or Giants game, or watching a movie with friends and popcorn.

I've streaked down a beach.

You live in the South Bay.
You know where some good hiking or bike trails are.
You want to go ice skating some time.
You can appreciate geeky things, and still have a social life.
Hodor.
