Hobbies

In my spare time, I enjoy reading fantasy novels, listening to educational science videos, gardening, and maintaining my rather under-utilized artistic skills. My favorite author is Sir Terry Pratchett. Some of my favorite YouTube channels include Eons (produced by PBS), Crash Course, Defunctland and Corridor Crew.

Although I do not particularly enjoy it, I also exercise regularly to maintain a healthy body. I participate in the Utica Boilermaker 5k Road Race each year.

I have a keen interest in Japanese culture, and have been fortunate enough to visit the country multiple times. I have also traveled to Costa Rica, Mexico, and various countries in the Caribbean.

My favorite quote concerns both science and wonderment:
"It didn't stop being magic just because you found out how it was done." - Terry Pratchett
