Work Hard, Play Harder

About Me

Whats up, I guess this is where I talk about myself huh. So what is there to know…..? I'm starting my last year at the University of Washington Fall '07. I'm studying Architecture, and am minoring in music; I'm also interested in Industrial Design. Always looking to meet new people and try new things. Paintball has been taking up way to much of my time (and money) lately. I'm the President of the University of Washington Husky Paintball Club (HPC). We play at least every other weekend and compete in local tourneys as well as nationally in the NCPA against other colleges. During winter it’s all about tearing up the slopes skiing, usually at Crystal Mountain, where my family is a member of the Founders Club. This winter I may be an instructor at Snoqualmie Pass with the Husky Winter Sports program, but it’s definitely gonna depend on my Architecture workload (as of right now… not lookin’ so great, haha). I spend most of my time in the backcountry but have started gettin my feet wet in the park. Music is huge for me; I'm always going to shows, listening to it, playing it, whatever. I've been playing the trumpet for over 11 years, but have been playing a lot of bass guitar lately. Besides that, I'm your typical college student having a good time while still doin well in school.
