Phew, we made it this farall the way to the part where I get to explain that, like you, Im not a robot. I have feelings! Which is to say I usually feel like exercising before work, and sometimes feel like having a beer after work. Im fascinated by the whole wide world, so when Im not working, I branch out and explore it while doing the things I love. Im a capable skier, a jiu jitsu beginner, and a champion t-shirt collector. Im fascinated by all things Middle East, so in 2010 I spent a few weeks in Iran. I love movies, Giants baseball, and searching for the next great American cheeseburger.
