I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Work Hard, Play Hard

My Interests

sports, Legos, reading, doing new things, talking to people old and new, constructing things, figuring things out, deep thinking, studying

I'd like to meet:

Any historical figure because I'd like to hear the truth from their perspective. Historians definitely have a different outlook on events than those who actually participated in the events.

Music:

The Clash to Yo Yo Ma

Movies:

Donnie Brasco and Matrix

Television:

Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage, DBZ, The Sopranos, The Newshour with Jim Lehrer, Mad Men, BBC/CBC/PBS Docs, Heroes, The Office, Nightly Business Report

Books:

Fahrenheit 451 - I have read many great books in my lifetime and will read many more, but this book is my favorite because it reminded me that books can open the doors to new truths. There is no single truth, only different levels of truth.:)

Heroes:

Anyone who has ever taught me anything.
