I'm a blend of Father, IT Guy, Outdoor Enthusiast, and Musician.

I have two beautiful and intelligent daughters. We enjoy playing video games, reading, arts, crafts, skiing, hiking, playing with Lego bricks, and watching Star Wars.

I work in the field of high performance computing and desktop support.

I love to hike, backpack, boat, ski, and golf. Backpacker magazine is one of my favorites. I enjoy exploring the National Parks and forests in the area. I buy an annual Park pass every year, except the year that I was banned from Yellowstone. (Curious why?) Idaho is a great place for hiking and backpacking. I enjoy four-wheeler and motorcycle rides, except when they land on me.

I play the acoustic guitar and piano, and I've been known to sing. I've been in bands, recorded a guitar track on an album, gave lessons, and performed. My whole family is musical.

I have a quick wit. My jokes and puns are frequent, and sometimes, they're even funny. I love to watch stand-up comedy.

I'm good at learning about new things. I have a good memory. I like puzzles. I can spend hours in a bookstore.

I'm shy and soft-spoken. I hardly ever raise my voice, unless someone asks me to (like on the phone).
