Hobbies:
Musically I get amped when I wail on the electric guitar.

More than a sketch but not quite a masterpiece, that's a doodle and I love to doodle. My subjects are often robots, cool shapes, and cartoons.

Working out, and running is my personal time to myself. Just let my ipod play and push myself a little further every time.

I have done comedy at open mics. It is one of the most terrifying and gratifying things I have done.
