me and my dog

A few words on me.   To come later.  They say that a picture is worth a thousand words tough.


Facts about me:

* I love dogs (in particular the one in the photos).
* I do (crazy) math.
* I like music.  All kinds but in particular grunge and heavy metal.
* I play tennis and basketball (not well).
* I like to teach.
* Exercise is enjoyable if thats going for a hike or to the gym.
* General philosophy: try as hard as you can until the end.
* Observation: there is always someone better than you out there (at anything), but you'll never know how good you are until you try. 
* Suggestions for good movies: lord of the rings, Batman, Cinderella man, Gattaca.
* What I like about Utah -The math department and the outdoors.
* Worst movie ever made Apocalypto (what is the worst movie you have seen?).
* I am fortunate to have a good family, friends, and teachers.  I would not be half the man I am with out them.
* A quote from a good friend, "Anyone can fall down.  All that matters is that you get up."  Also from several of my teachers, "Don't worry about making mistakes.  Everyone makes mistakes.   Learn from your mistakes."  My family has always been there for me, supported me, made me a better person, and inspired me.  I would like to thank them.
* I was born and raised in Seattle Washington.  Consequently when it rains you'll see me enjoying it, and walking without a hat even if it's pouring buckets.
