I played Water Polo for more than a decade, swam for nearly as long, and in general have played sports since I was a kid (soccer, volleyball, track, et cetera).With the improving weather I am able to put my improved motorcycle skills to the test on the many roads and byways of the Northern Bay Area -- I started riding in December 2003 and don't foresee myself stopping any time soon.I'm (as elsewhere mentioned) an avid reader, a passionate actor, an unfetterable gamer, a thorough computer technician, a zealous writer, and a good friend. I guess that about sums me up. Scary I could do it in so little space!
Good-natured and friendly people, folks I can chat with and not feel pressured to always be the life of the party. People interested in life and all it has to offer.
My single most-loved band? Hands-down it's Bad Religion. There are few artists I like as a whole (Muse, Nirvana, Tool, A Perfect Circle, and several others come to mind), but many artists have only a song or two I really enjoy hearing.I just put the cap on a four-year radio show (called The Poetics Week-in-Review) on my local campus station, and look forward to doing more shows, in bigger and broader markets, in the future!

David Eddings and Terry Goodkind are my favorite authors, with Kevin Mitnick and Terry Brooks running close seconds. I read everything from Fantasy to Technical manuals (hey, I'm a dork), with a little Political Espionage thrown in the mix for flavor. If we're talking magazines, 2600 is my favorite by far.
My uncle and my late grandfather. The former for his perserverance, struggling against adversity and overcoming it; the latter for his years of service to others and his dedication to perfection.
