I enjoy photography, playing chess, playing guitar, Rube Goldberg devices, Kettle One vodka, the Chicago Cubs, the Detroit Red Wings, the New York Rangers, the Chicago Bears, comic books, independent film and music, bad-ass t-shirts, hats, time travel, being better than most people, and political / religious discussions. I also collect vintage pencils, like the Berol "Black Warrior" circa 1988. Do I really? Yes.
