I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a research scientist working for the USDA who specializes in fungal and plant toxins. I hunt mushrooms, hike, bike, read, and play games. If you got an interest in anything fungal at all, I'm the guy you want to talk to!I am married to the lovely Karen (see friend links) and reside in Athens, GA with our two cats.My spare time is most often spent online in Xbox Live playing Halo 2, COD2, and Gears of War. If your on live and want to play, let me know your gamertag and we can kill some people together (much, much, more fun than it sounds, even if you like that sort of thing).

My Interests

Gaming, Hiking, Reading, Hanging out with my wife and cats.

I'd like to meet:

Open to anyone.

Music:

Phish, Grateful Dead, Santana, Harry Nielson, U2, most Classic Rock, likely tons others I'm leaving out.

Movies:

LOTR, The Matrix Trilogy, Guru, Monty Python stuff, Army of Darkness, Almost Famous, Tons of others, I'm a movie-a-holic

Television:

Not so much recently. Northern Exposure is awesome. Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, King of the Hill, Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Mostly cartoons it seems.

Books:

Wheel of Time has been my ongoing project recently. Tolkien is fantastic. Anything by Tom Robbins is a winner. Beat Poetry always works. Pretty much across the board with books. If it is even remotely reputable, I'll give it a shot.

Heroes:

Linus Pauling and Elias Fries. Take that Normalcy!

My Blog

Coffee.......

Hello All! This is just a test post to see if I got the code correct to link my Gamer Card from Xbox Live into the Header. Looks like it worked! For all of those who actually wanted a real blog today...
