About Me

Mostly I'm just kinda like this guy and such... I also tend to be a total dork on occasion. I ride bikes, Mtn, road, urban, Dirt Jump, freeride, prettymuch if it has 2wheels and pedals I'm there. I teach ppl how to have as much fun as I do on snowboards. I also play with these computer thingys sometimes too often. I've recently stumbled upon the Seattle nightlife scene, Who knew I had time for my other distractions, plus staying out 'til 6am and STILL working overtime regularly... "What's work" you ask? I'm a machinist (I make little precision one-off parts for things ranging from fighter jets to tsunami detection buoys to computers to coffee makers, game controller prototypes, etc.) More specifically I do setups and edit code for CNC machines. It's a trade to me, yes, I got into it for specifically that, didn't expect much else, but it's brought with it an unexpected shift in mindset, and just general outlook on life that I'm appreciating more and more as time passes.
My life... I've officially lived in Seattle for a year now, and now more than ever my existence is constantly evolving. It's a fast-paced ride these days it seems, and I often wonder how it is exactly that I manage to keep up with myself. But I do, and it's fun, and you should come try it too! I work a crazy cool job that gives me money to make neat-o parts to go to mars, or the ocean floor or doctor's offices, I go see alot of good music, I help out at parties, I go to parties, and stay out 'til midafternoon, I eat good foods, I ride bicycles, I have a saucy little black kitty and many wonderful friends from all walks of life. Mostly I just plain feel verymuch alive. Things just seem to fit. Many old and new aspects of my world have been coming together in a very synergistic manner. At the moment, inspite of a couple of recent blows, I couldn't be happier with where and how I'm living.

My Interests
