About Me

I'm a drummer, a web developer, an animal lover, and a video game enthusiast. I have a degree in theoretical math, but jumped the academic ship in order to do more software develop-y things. Art in general—and music specifically—is very important to me. I consider myself very open-minded, but I am always willing to defend my stance on an issue, vociferously if necessary. I love learning things, but I love knowing things even more. I'm pretty sure I'm equal parts intellectual and experiencer, and both to a large degree.

I tend to like things that are complex. I like solving problems.

My love-hate relationship with MySpace is at about a 1-to-99 ratio.

I done got married on July 2nd, 2006, to a woman who both embodies and is everything I love in the world.
