About Me

I am a student at Stanford University (Class of 2009)... I am from Visalia, California... I am left-handed... I had a reputation for being "the upstanding citizen" of my freshman dorm... I used to run a 4:48 mile, but now I think I'd be lucky to break 5:40... I once ran 6 miles with my friend on a track just to prove to him that it was a bad idea... Stern Late Night chocolate milkshakes will most likely be the death of me... I lived for an entire month touring the United States in a 34-foot motorhome with my 5-person family when I was 9... I make my bed every day... One time I dropped my tray in the middle of the dining hall while dancing to Latin music... I spent part of a summer building a 12-foot trebuchet that could launch a cinder block nearly 100 yards with my friends. We named it Tehcubert...

My Interests

Distance running, baseball, computers, astronomy, reading, writing

I'd like to meet:

I wouldn't mind meeting Mitch Hurwitz, Stephen Hawking, Wes Anderson, Willie Mays, Paul McCartney, Ben Folds, Stuart Murdoch... I'm not too big on meeting famous people, though... Just because two Supreme Court Justices are giving speeches across the street doesn't mean I feel obligated to listen to them talk about something that isn't interesting to me (true story).
