I've got Kitty Pryde... and Nightcrawler too.

About Me

After thrashing about for awhile, I finally got my Bachelor of Science degree in Physics, minor in Math, from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks in 2005. I've also almost completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology, with a minor in Journalism. Yup, two degrees. I'm a nerd.
At UAF I was the captain of the College Bowl team at UAF. (That's what I'm doing in the one picture.) College Bowl is like team Jeopardy. I'm such a dork.
I used to be a volunteer at KSUA radio for 5 years in Fairbanks, and for one of those years I used to be the Station Manager. One time I fired a guy for swearing on the air, and I got my name in Yahoo news. Burn in hell, Ronald Regan.
I'm in a band called Electric Tape, and I feel we are quite good. http://electrictape.net if you are so inclined. This occupies a majority of my free time. The band used to be called The Formals for awhile, until some other band stole the name. I used to be in bands called Kelsa, and Mr. McFeely, back in the day.
I record bands for fun. If you're interested in recording, message me and maybe we can work something out.
For physical activity, I like baseball, and riding my bike. I used to play high school basketball, but my free throw has gotten terribly rusty. I would like to get involved in some sort of softball league.
I live in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle with Amanda . I and my friends Marquetta, Kristian, Austin, and Jess are all in a band together called Electric Tape . Currently, I work at Microsoft as a network engineer for their DirectBand service.At this particular moment, it's raining, and I'm pensive.
