Apart from being a web developer, I am pretty active. I lift, hike, climb, and I play on a gay rugby team. I also enjoy reading, solving jigsaw puzzles, and writing. And when I get the chance, I love spending my time in museums of any kind.
When I have free time, I love spending it with my friends and loved ones. I love going on long walks and talking about life and meaning with those important to me. This is what I feel like life is really about!
