ABOUT ME
I moved to the DC area from Iowa in January 2008. It's quite a change, but I really enjoy living here.
I have a five minute walk to work at the U.S. patent office.
PHILOSOPHY
Enjoy life, learn as much as you can, make a positive difference in the World.

I enjoy reading but haven't read much lately. I'm currently reading Bonfire of the Vanities.
