Interests
Outside of developing, I am a big sports fan, both watching and playing. I played basketball and soccer since I was a kid, and I believe my sports debate skills are worthy of a job on ESPN First Take.
I also love to play and listen to music. I play guitar, though I wish I had time to play, and I'm in to all kinds of music, including rock, hip hop, and jazz.
