I was born in Philadelphia, and for most of my life lived in Yardley Pennsylvania. I am very greatful for my family who have been supportive my entire life, through boy scouts, Jui-jitsu, robotics, and many other activities I was interested in through my youth. When I am not working or at Temple, I will be spending time with some of my friends. Most of which I have been with for years since high school. I feel incredibly lucky to have a nerdy group of friends I can be myself with.
I love running, and am going to be participating in a triatholon and a relay this year. I've never done it competitively, and this is the first time I'm really putting effort into improving at something I always have done for fun. I'm glad that I have supportive friends that are willing to train with me.
My favorite hobby is playing tabletop games with my friends. This can include Risk, Betrayal on the House on the Hill, Settlers of Catan, and Dominion. Recently we purchased a bundle of random board games and have been going through them together. Trying to find out what everyone enjoys so we know what games to play with what people. For a very long time we have been playing Magic the Gathering. All of my friends have enjoyed Magic, and we have learned many lessons through it.
