About Me

I'm Rob. I go to Ohio Dominican University in Columbus, where I actually just graduated. I love soccer and music, mostly. I'm also very much into alternative energy and sustainability. I have a pretty legit amount of points and street cred.

Soccer is my favorite escape. I'll play, watch, or coach whenever. It's like chess that requires teamwork.

I like music and concerts.

I don't really feel too comfortable here in Columbus, so I'm gonna take off. I thought I was going to move to Portland, but now I'm kind of on the fence. I think I'm going to compare job opportunities and decide where to move from there. Any suggestions?

My Interests

Soccer, music, alternative energy, leaving Ohio.

I'd like to meet:

Too often we gauge people by what we consume rather than what we make and do. I'm trying to focus on what I make and do, what I introduce to the world. I want to meet people in that same category.

And definitely this guy:
