Description

I am a boy who has lived in Minnesota for most of my life. I grew up in a small town and moved to the big city to get my education. I got myself a degree in physics and then went to work for the University. I've mainly been doing computer programming for physics experiments, such as the LHC experiment at CERN. I lived in Switzerland for a year but then came back home to be with my friends. Physics has been my area of study, but computers get me my paycheck. My primary interests are in the future and in technology. I love to learn about all that man can do and has done, and hope to be doing some doing of my own one day. Hobbies like music, art, and being outdoors keep me keen on myself and my environment. I find just as much beauty in towering architecture as I do a serene forest, and value each as a place on this Earth. In my future I would like to get more involved in space and space exploration topics. I'm considering furthur study in aerospace engineering and also getting my pilot's license. I think there's lots more for me to see here on Earth and beyond our atmosphere.
