About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. Nice that you could drop by. I suppose the idea is to get a better idea of who I am: here goes. Who I am is how I look at life. I've been described as the guy caught in the middle of a rain storm with no umbrella, a huge grin on my face, singing into the storm. I've got a pretty good life, and it's nice to take a step back every now and then and realize that very few things matter as much as we think they do.I'm currently finishing off my PhD in robotics, which is a lot of work, but is really fun. I get to build robots and then play with them all day, and get paid for it; how cool is that? Plus, I get to teach, which is a passion of mine. Downside, the math get's a little intense. I was cool when it was just numbers. Then they added letters, alright, I can deal with that. Then they took away the numbers, and kept the letters, fine. Now the letters are gone, the numbers are gone, even the familiar symbols like '=' '+' and 'x' are gone, yet they still call it math. Whatever happened to taking home 32 watermelons from the store (because you gave Mary 8), and we all just pretend that there's nothing strange about that.Apart from school, I like to keep active. I ride my bike a lot in the summer, love going for walks and hikes, go to the gym when nature is having a tantrum, toss a frisbee in a field, or just run around with some friends goofing off. On the non-hyper side, I love to cook, play my piano, take on random projects, have a night of board games with friends, listen to audio books, watch documentaries, and often just kick back for the evening with a good movie and good company.For transportation, if I'm not biking or rollerblading, I prefer my own two feet. If I have the time, I would rather walk to a location as opposed to almost any other form of transportation (personal aircraft notwithstanding). I also really enjoy playing tennis, ultimate frisbee and a good debate about something pointless; most recently, which dictator had the best mustache? (The answer is obvious really)A few random facts about me:- I love the cold- I've broken 6 bones (at least. To be honest, I've really lost count)- I once fell of a ski lift (not one of the broken bones***I want to get my pilot's license one day- In my undergrad, I built a submarine, a blimp and a fuel-cell monitoring system, and two of those three things actually worked.- There is almost no type of weather that I don't like- I never turn down sushi, except for in extreme cases- The longest I've been without food is ***hours, which included my 27th birthday- Best live show I've been to is a tie between "Who's line is it anyway" and "Tim Minchin"So what am I looking for? It seems pointless to spout the usual "cute, funny, ambitious, smart, etc.", everyone is looking for that. Most important to me, I'm looking for someone who loves who they are, that's really important to me. Also a generally positive outlook on life is also pretty important; the world, frankly, is awesome. So someone who's always got a smile on her face; someone who loves life, and lives it in a positive way, and who thirsts for adventure. I'm also looking for a girl with a bit of a cheesy romantic side who can let her hair down from time to time to dance barefoot in the rain with.As for looks, I don't claim that they aren't important, far to the contrary. I just can't quite figure out how to describe what I'm looking for. Who someone is, and how they act really does play a big part in someone's overall attractiveness. Something that simply boils down as "Fun!" Perhaps getting thrown out of the ball pit at IKEA... Whatever's fun, I'm game.

    I really enjoy working with my hands (get out of the gutter!). For the last 10 years since highschool my life has highly revolved around all types of carpentry and renovation work, which keeps me busy in and out of the work day.I live a fun and active lifestyle that encourages new and greater things. There is especially something about the summer that doesnt keep me in long, you know what I mean?Im planning on advancing my career in renovations to the next level soon, wether it be architecture or autocad so that in the near future I can have all the right knowledge in building homes from the ground up. That will of coarse lead to all the exciting opportunities ive been working so hard for.For who it matters, im just an easy to get along with type of guy with lots of ambition to always take things to the next level. I appreciate anyone who has goals, and will do whats necessary to reach them.
