About Me

At least initially, I'm taking the easy way out and just posting my about me from Facebook:

In short, I'm an easy going fellow who loves life, god, family, friends, dreams, blankets and stars. The long version is as follows. I have a passion and gift for phyics and math that, along with my faith, influences much of my life. I believe that science supports a wonder of and a small understanding of God in striving to understand the awesome complexity of God's creation. I tend to be a somewhat independent, quiet person--though my friends mean more to me than I usually express to them. I grew up in a small town in Eastern Oregon where the sun shines in the summer and the snow falls in the winter and I still miss it while I'm at school. I enjoy being active in hiking, camping, sports or others, though I focus primarily on playing tennis as a sport. Although a somewhat rational scientist, I believe I have a deeply creative side that I express in the creation of anything from artwork to programming to simply being spontaneous. I love to laugh though my sense of humor is drier than most, and I appreciate witty sarcasm. My passion for the stars and the universe is leading me to pursue a career in astronomy or astrophysics, and at this point I truly feel excited that this might be what I get to do for the rest of my life. I enjoy anything soft, especially blankets, that I can grip in my hands. To wrap this up I also enjoy the cold, intimate talks with friends, playing games of any type, MILK, hot showers, the smell of rain on dry pavement, reading, and wood fireplaces.
