Interests

If a day includes some reading, exercise, work, and laughing with friends, it's been a good day.

My hobbies include photography, hiking, weight training, eating, and literature, and eating. I love a good conversation and the vibe that exists when hanging out with a solid friend. I love to laugh, the harder the better, though I'm sometimes found to have a bizarre sense of humor! That's okay though - we should all embrace our weirdness:)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I have some technical background if you want to spin a yarn about groundwater flow or the block caving methods of diamond mining, but I'm not keen on testing my capacity to bore people.

Perhaps I'll never reach it, but I'm always aiming to develop a well integrated idea of what it is to be human, and what exactly's going on here on Earth. This concept is approached laterally in the arts and humanities, and directly by the sciences and perhaps by many religions as well. If you're at all interested in these ideas, we can trade our knowledge.

I'm pretty good with the technicals of weight lifting and am always down to hit the gym with someone new.
