One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll have to think about this one for a bit. Being in the gulf for the first gulf war was kinda cool. Being at the top of my first 5.10 lead climb without falling was pretty cool. Seeing the Sierra at 11,000 feet was cool too (well, cold, actually). I'll come back to this one...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an avid social dancer (swing, waltz, lindy, polka, blues), and love to teach. I'm happy to teach as much computer science or aerospace engineering as I can, but I'm guessing that dancing is a better idea. As for the learning part, I'm the type that likes to learn just about anything.
