About Me

I'm currently working on a MS in Civil Engineering, switching from a BS in Computer Science and Engineering. Bridges are cooler than FORTRAN anyways.

I've been working for a contractor doing some GPS surveying and helping with estimating. It's pretty lax now with next years work and winter work coming in.

I'll probably end up doing IT work again in the spring, then hopefully an internship in the summer / fall before I start my actual graduate studies. Switching majors after graduating is a 1 1/2 year long process.

At the moment, I'm not doing much besides work and school, but when I have time, I like to ride my bike, geocache, camp, hike and travel.

My Interests

Books, Music, Film, Technology, Engineering, Bridges

I'd like to meet:

OMG THE INTERNETS

Music:

Jazz, Blues, Rock, Classics

Movies:

Requiem for a Dream, Pi, Spun, Poolhall Junkies, Goodfellas, Heat, Chaos, UHF, Evil Dead

Television:

I only have cable internet and no rabbit ears. But I do borrow my Uncle's MacGyver DVD's every once in awhile. I've also seen Scrubs.

Books:

1984, Brave New World, Watership Down, Redwall, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Heroes:

My Aunt and Uncle
