ABOUT ME

i'm a mechanical engineer living in Phoenix, AZ while i work on getting my professional engineering license. i work for a consulting company doing energy modeling and analysis, and my goal is to take those skills abroad to do work internationally. work aside, i have lots of other interests and hobbies, the latest being curing bacon and dabbling in film photography. i wish i had time to read more, i'll drive over flying anytime, and some day i want to go hang gliding.

Music, Movies, and Books

anything wes anderson, godard, arrested development, parks and recreation, it's always sunny in philadelphia. anything sarcastic or full of puns.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

watching the sun set from a rooftop over the himalayas (best birthday ever!), riding bikes through villages in the countryside of china, eating dinner outside in january thanks to the phoenix winter weather... it's amazing how the little things can blow your mind as much as the big experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

i'm still trying to learn how to blow bubbles with gum.
