About Me

I'm a third year mechanical engineering student at Cal Poly SLO. I was born in Camarillo, California and have lived there all my life. I'd say I'm shy until you get to know me. Meeting new people is great so drop me a line. If you're in the neighborhood we always need an excuse to BBQ so stop on by. I'm up for trying any sane thing once that could be fun (I've always wanted to go sky diving).

My Interests

There isn't much that I'm not interested in. As far as sports, I've played sooccer forever, volleyball is new by comparison but its a good change, and snowboarding is my passion. I like designing and building things. I like learning aobut history and how people's ideas and actions have changed over time. It really makes you wonder what the future will bring. I used to raise animals with 4-H and Guide Dogs for the Blind, so animals play a part in my life as well. I really enjoy the outdoors, whether it be the beach, or the mountains. Spending time outside gives you perspective on life.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet all the great minds of the past and present if it were possible. True understanding can only be achieved if one challenges the mental boundaries of themself. Albert Einstein, Wright Brothers, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Homer, Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Stephen King... the list goes on but I think you get the point. I'm always up for new friends especially anyone interested in going snoboarding. And of course meeting the woman of my dreams would be nice, so if you know her or are her stop on by.

Music:

Probably my favorite band is Lit, just because I don't think there is a song I don't like. I like a lot of different groups though mostly in the rock side of music. 311, Audioslave, Bad Religion, Bare Naked Ladies, Beach Boys, Beastie Boys, Black Eyed Peas, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Briertone, Cake, Catch 22, Chevelle, Coldplay, Evanescence, Eve 6, Everclear, Flogging Molly, Foo Fighters, Godsmack, Goldfinger, Goo Goo Dolls, Green Day, Homegrown, Incubus, Jimmy Eat World, Lagwagon, Less Than Jake, Linkin Park, Modest Mouse, Nine Days, Nirvana, Offset, Offspring, Pennywise, Queen, Queen of the Stone Age, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Rufio, Sherwood, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, The Killers, Third Eye Blind, Three Doors Down, Tool, Trinket, Velvet Revolver, Weezer, Zebrahead and the list goes on.

Movies:

The Shawshank Redemption

Television:

Family Guy is awesome. I also watch Smallville, who doesn't want to be a superman? Celebrity Poker Showdown can be fairly entertaining with the right people. Who's Line is it Anyway is great but I don't watch it much anymore I've seen so many its just lost that appeal. Anything on the history or discovery channel is pretty much golden like myth busters.

Books:

One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Heroes:

Anyone who can do what is not popular becuase they believe it is the right thing to do. Those in the shadows that do great deeds of charity and ask for no recognition or praise set the example for the rest of us. If someone can continue to give of themselves and get nothing in return then that is a noble quality that I strive to achieve. I look up to my father because he is a man that proves you are what you make of your life. He has overcome the odds and worked hard to be what he is. He is also one of the most selfless people I know. I can only dream I'll be half the man he is.

Why?

Why? It seems like such a simple question. However, the simpler the question the more complex the answer seems to be. Why are we here? What is the point? Survival of the fittest, or more accurate...
