ACTIVITIES

When I’m not creating HTML, CSS, or VBScript, I’m the single greatest guitarist ever known by humans.  Ever.  I’ve also been known to enjoy bodyboarding, hiking, and camping.  I love to sit down with a good book and I spend far too much time working on my car (it looks like KITT from Knight Rider).
