INTERESTS

When I'm not working or studying for my Master's, I love to sneak away to do a little gaming. I also love live music, roller-skating, and spending time with those I love most...even when we're doing nothing at all. This includes hanging out with my dog Sulley who has the heart of a lion, but the body of a 10 pound Yorkshire Terrier.
