I maintain a long list of hobbies and really try to push myself to perform them at a high level. Whatever I'm into at any given moment is constantly changing, but the big ones that have stuck for the past few years are...
- Film photography, and newly, darkroom printing. I mainly shoot B&W and E-6 stocks.
- Cooking and baking; I like to make soups, stews, and pastries.
- Music; more on this here. Recently, I've been working on my CD collection.
- Fashion; I love vintage clothing & the history of fashion. My personal style tends to mix trad ivy with modern outdoor gear. I can't afford any of it, but I like to look to The Row and 90s CDG.
- Hiking
- Endurance sports; in 2024, I ran about 400 miles and cycled 3,500. They're such a good way to get outside and I've found no better way for me to clear my head.
For more facts: I like to read & watch movies in my downtime. I am an avid fan of the NBA and the Cleveland Cavaliers. I work as a mechanical engineer. I took a spirit animal quiz once that said mine is a deer; I agree with this. I have seen two owls in the past year. I love to try out the different Chinese Lay's flavors - my current favorite is Sichuan Peppercorn Crispy Meat. I have three Bossa Nova albums downloaded on my phone that I save exclusively for airplane listening. I love green things but I think my favorite color is French blue.
Most importantly, I live life surrounded by friends & family and love all them all. I would be nothing without them.
