Hey all, my name is Josh, but to conform to my internet persona, you can call me Kep. As you can see, I am totally obsessed with Land Rovers; I also own one myself, which is my only proof that I am not completely insane. Something not expressed enough on this page is the fact that I am a geek. There's really no denying it, so I minus well embrace my inner geek. I love sci-fi everything, am positively fascinated with technology of all sorts, and am an avid computer user. Of course all of this makes a strange combination of hobbies when you add four-wheeling; commonly thought to be a 'redneck adrenaline rush.' All in all this helps make me more balanced. I can be a bit introverted sometimes, but for those who know me (out of school, not just as an acquaintance) I'd consider myself an active and outspoken individual.
Right now, I'm experiencing a huge transition in life as I transfer from High School to College. I was very happy to have many choices and have decided on going to the UC Davis Honors Program. I am entering a pre-dent track, with my target set on Orthodontistry.
