Favourite quote: "I have no idea", by every human I've ever known.
Interests and hobbies: Hiking, travelling, playing piano/guitar, photography, sound collection, writing, playing with my fuzzy puppy... things of that nature.
One thing I want to do before I die: Compose a symphony or write a novel... tapdance on a mountaintop.
Favourite book: Have to go with my first love... "The Trumpeter of the Swan", by E.B. White. Also love the Dark Tower Series by Stephen King
My friends describe me as: A Duck-Billed Platypus.
The most amazing moment in my life so far: Having an awesome wife, a crazy little 7 month old son named Kairo and a furry little dog named Luka... these things make my life amazing every day.
