In the words of every teacher, parent, coach, friend, or Martian I've ever known, I am difficult. I like books. I like Alaska. I like old cars. I like a little music. I like food. I'm all over the place. As far as core values go, I believe in open discussion about everything.

I like a challenge.

Give me a mountain to climb, a book to read, or some nuclear physics, I'm happy.
