About Me

Data scientist at Purdue University and a studier of the economic dark arts. I love to drink and eat. I love to try new things. I love music and experiencing or getting a look at different cultures. I love meeting new people and starting up a random conversation with someone I run into and finding cool people. I also love anything water. Swimming, boating, water-skiing, you name and I either love it or would love to try it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music (-country), especially rock. My favorite band is Breaking Benjamin. I enjoy movies but don't dedicate much time to them. My favorite is The Prestige. I read a lot. I love books that are informational but my favorite books would have to be the Wheel of Time series. Lately I've been into a lot of philosophy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ruptured and lost my spleen when I was younger. I have an eight inch scar down the middle of my abdomen to prove it. Apparently I almost died. Just a random FYI that makes me just a bit more different.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn other languages, how to fish for salmon (I hear they're great here, and some hobby I've never tried.

I can teach someone how to swim, help with English, how to drive, including a manual, water ski, basic sailing, and maybe how to do some basic handy work around the house.
