Disclaimer: I am a dork and a nerd, but not a geek. There is nothing wrong with geeks. Computers, gadgets, and trinkets are cool and all, but I don't get excited about them. What does excite me is science fiction, I love diving into worlds where the impossible is possible.

Now that that's out of the way. I also enjoy trying new beers at new bars, playing games with friends(board, video, bar games, etc.), traveling to new places, or any other adventure.

On one such adventure I took my family to a hole in the wall Thai restaurant and got to watch them serve Buddhist Monks orange robes and all in St. Paul of all places.

Graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Sculpture with a focus in cast metal work from the University of Minnesota. Currently working for said University so I can afford the loan payments while I figure out a plan B.

*Plan B is currently going back to school for Economics, I need to understand how this world of ours really works.

Pouring molten metal.

That I am usually smiling.

A Sampling of my personal tastes.

Life, the Universe, and Everything.

I ideally would be hanging out with friends at a movie, bar, or at home. It would be there that fun and games and friendly ribbing would be taking place over a couple of cold ones. I am also just as down for low key night at home with Netflix to keep me company.

I occasionally read OKC profiles from the bottom up.

You are also looking for a partner in crime to partake in such activities including but in no way limited to tennis matches, rounds of golf, trying new bars/restaurants, seeing new exhibits in museums, etc.

I am a big believer in memories are made not by what you do but who you do it with.
