Interests:
My passion is design, build, and improve, whether applied to technology or anywhere else that the opportunity presents itself. At home, this manifests itself most often in home remodeling projects, woodworking, and car maintenance and repairs. I enjoy many hobbies, but tinkering with any new technology or gadget is a favorite pass-time. I look to improve my soft-skills, typically with books on CDs. Sporting events and target shooting are casual pass-times, along with music and photography thanks to cheap storage devices! I was raised on hunting and fishing, which still today remain as favorite Summer and Fall pursuits.
