About Me

About me: Pretty much the main thing that people remember after first meeting me is that I'm tall. No mater what I say or do, people will say, "Oh, he's that really tall guy." Yes, that's me...but there's more. I'm an outdoors nut just like the majority of those living in the Bay Area. I like to explore, try new things and test myself. I love playing in the dirt and anything to do with Archaeology, history, travel and inventing.UPDATE!!! As many may know, I have been completely dorking-out and applying to business schools with the goal of working in product development. Well, I have so far been accepted to 3 of the 5 schools I applied to! Choices choices... I have no idea which one I will be going to yet. Do I go to the school that offered me the most money? Do I go to the school with the best name? Do I go to the school where I feel I will be the happiest? Beats the hell out of me!Regardless of where I go, it means I will be saying adios to the Bay Area and will finally have the summer vacation I have waited so long for. So far the plan is for Bree and I to quit our jobs mid-may and go directly to Vegas to celebrate. Then move our crap down to Phoenix and hang out in the warm dry weather before going to the warm humid climate of Hawaii for a week or more. Next is to drive to Chicago to see my brand spankin' new nephew Charlie (way to go Jen!). Then we're headed East to see my folks in New Jersey and to hang out in Maine for a bit. What we do after that depends on the schools we choose to go to.I've got lots of big decisions to make in the near future, but am confident that I'm headed in the right direction. I'll keep you updated.
