ABOUT ME

My name is Sam. I like words and numbers.

I come from Chattanooga, a city in the Tennessee Valley near the Georgia border. Actually, I grew up in a town right beside Chattanooga, but the only people who say they're from there are the ones who never leave.

For several years I lived in Kirksville, Missouri. More days than not, I ask myself how I ended up in Missouri and remember that my main criterion for choosing a university was "not in Tennessee". For the time being I am back home, at least until I find another one.

I will respond to messages in pretty much any language I can.
