About Me
Apart from skating, here is a quick bullet list of some of my many life adventures:
•I am a Computer Science and Electrical Engineering student at UAF; my current field of research involves increasing the efficiency of CPUs via ternary acceleration.
•I am a pilot. I have been flying since I was 14, and I also started competitive aerobatic (stunt/airshow-style) flying at 15
•I have worked in photography (including working in one of the last Southern California Darkrooms), TV Production, and Video Editing
•I have been a supervisor at the Patty Ice Arena for four years, including driving the Zamboni and maintaining the ice to keep it as beautiful as it is now ;)
