CURRENT MISSION

To be awesome.

ABOUT ME

I'm an ENTJ(Myers-Briggs).
I like to watch movies and talk during them about the acting.
In 2012, I finally completed my New Year's resolution from 2009 to get a passport and I want to put it to use!
I really want to go scuba diving in warmer water than the Puget Sound one of these days.
I go to the gym on my lunch breaks and running when my feet don't hurt. I trade the gym for riding my bike into work when the weather and my schedule permits. I ran my first 5k in 2013 and ran a 15k at the Portland Shamrock run in 2014.
I'm also a fan of silly jokes that only 6 year olds find amusing.

PHILOSOPHY

"Actions you never had to do are some of the nicest things you can do for someone." - My coworker Cliff

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The first time I went diving in Hawaii was amazing. I loved swimming with all of the fish, turtles and sharks. We were also able to see and actually swim in the water with a whale, it was an awesome experience. I felt like I was in Finding Nemo.
