Hobbies

Diversity makes life interesting. In my life outside of academics, I love basketball, food, and watching shows. Over the years, I've been blessed to have had some amazing adventures. In no particular order, here are some things I've done:

Anybody who knows me knows that I love basketball-- watching the Blazers, playing full court games, or even just shooting around. In 2018, a few friends and I competed in the OSU intramural 3v3 basketball tournament and won!

In 2017, we went crabbing in Waldport. With 4 people and no boat, we still managed to max out on the number of crabs for the day. We ate pretty well for a while. Here is my girlfriend, Sarah, and I holding dinner. Of course, I'm wearing a basketball shirt.

In the summer of 2016, shortly after leaving Intel but before grad school, Sarah and I went on a mini-vacation. We drove to southern Oregon and stayed in a tree house. Unfortunately, I did not capture any photos of the actual tree house, but I did get some pictures of us in Florence, OR out on the sand-dunes (not visible: sand in my teeth) and a funky-looking dinosaur.

These pictures are only a small part of the things and places I've seen. I look forward to making new memories with friends and family. Please come back soon as I'll upload new photos as we go along!
