ABOUT ME

I'm interested in pretty much everything. I love to read and I love to study ... I guess that makes me a geek and I'll wear that label with pride. I can get pretty passionate about science, philosophy and exciting ideas in general.

I love the outdoors, especially if they are mountainous, remote or have beautiful vistas. I love to hike, camp and anything that has a wiff of adventure about it. I've recently discovered a love of running ... dangerous for the obsessive compulsive!

I guess any description of me that didn't include food, drink and friends (the holy trinity) would be very incomplete. There is little I love more in this world than good food, good beer, good friends ... preferably all together.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is precious and should be never be taken for granted.
