Oh, lets see Life is an interesting thing for me. I have done lots of things. I've worked at both Microsoft and Boeing, had season tickets to the Mariners and the Sonics, skydived, sea kyaked, ridden in a B-25, never held a driver's license, worked in a dot come then got laid off from the dot com, and my most recient project is recovering from a severe injury that left me a quadraplegic and now I'm walking again. Right now I'm living in Eugene, OR while I recover. Soon though I will return to Seattle where I call home.As it turns out I am also:

My Interests

Well, lots of things really. Lets see start with the easy. I love things that fly. If you really want to get me excited take me to an afternoon at the flight museum. History and political science are true loves of mine. Had I to do it all over again, I would have stayed a Political Science major instead of Business (though it's interresting). I love a good beer, especially an IPA. if I had the space I'd brew myself. You can always excite me in some sea kyaking and any boating. Don't worry about getting lost, navigation is also something I'm into.

I'd like to meet:

Well, almost anyone really. I especially like those who tend toward the eccentric. It doesn't really matter what you are into, but I'll enjoy any good conversation over IPA.Oh and you....

Music:

I've been known to love Metallica and Ozzy, sometimes some ska and when the mood strikes me right and the composer is Russian or German I'll go with classical. Most reciently I've enjoyed Bad Religeion. Sort of thinking man's punk.

Movies:

Any and all movies. Pretty much they are all good except when you are stuck on a red eye with "Gosford Park." If you buy me some theatre popcorn I'll love you for at least the next couple of hours

Television:

Good drama. Reality shows suck.

Books:

I don't get around to much fiction. I have a bad tendency to read things from the news to history. Lately though while recovering from my "incident" I have picked up some Carl Haiassin, he is very funny.
