I like…traveling, going to concerts, listening to good music, and eating a good steak.
I eat…Mostly like a dinosaur hunter with some pizza and beer thrown in the mix.
I do…pretty much anything at least twice. (even if I hated it the first time).
I am…a nerd at heart.

Something people would be surprised to know about you:
I can speak German.  The first time I ever skied was in Switzerland and ever since it has become an addiction.
