About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm generally easygoing and agreeable

I've been told that my chocolate cake is "unreal"
I can solve a rubik's cube in under 10 minutes
I like singing in the shower

PHILOSOPHY

"The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. [...] No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation."

-Abraham Lincoln, Remarks to Congress one month before signing the Emancipation Proclamation

Better than I ever would have imagined even though my coworkers still think I'm crazy

Interests

Coffe and tea (I love them both equally), cakes and cookies (leaning more towards cake), biking, hiking, camping, adventuring, drinking beer, listening to podcasts, reading, and I like learning about and working on projects that involve energy and sustainability
