About Me

I'm easy to get along with and have a dry, sarcastic sense of humor that sometimes crosses the line. I love spending time outside; I've been rock climbing for nearly five years, snowboarding for a little longer than that and recently I've tried road rallies.I don't like to fly. I tried to get over it by taking flying lessons. As it turns out, I'm not afraid to fly if I'm flying the plane. Since the last time I checked, none of the passenger seats on commerical aircraft are in the cockpit, it didn't really help me out.I do like sushi. A lot.I'm a programmer and designer working for a small company near Philly and I've just started my own spin off company to work on a new title for the PC and _maybe_ the XBOX 360. If anyone feels like chatting, my AIM screen name is f1reh2o.What I'm Playing
