Personal
| |
My personal interests include reading
Science Fiction and Fantasy with J.R.R. Toilkein, Frank Herbert,
C.S. Lewis, and Isaac Asimov among my favorite authors. I also enjoy
listening to and performing music, painting and drawing, and spending
time with my family. I enjoy long quiet drives, and seeking out
rare Superman collectibles. I am certainly a ÒtechieÓ and am very
comfortable with technology. I would also stop just short of calling
myself a professional learner. I enjoy learning new things and have
a passion for increasing my knowledge and skills. |
