Personal Interests
I love learning about, understanding, and exploring the natural world. This includes hiking, camping, canoeing, kayaking, and wildlife photography. I train for Olympic-style weightlifting and love to workout and go to the gym. I also love to read books about philosophy and theology. Lastly, I have a Standard Schnauzer named Zeno (named after Zeno of Citium). He is always right alongside me to explore the world and one of my best friends!
Favorite Quote
"It is not knowledge, but the act of learning, not possession but the act of getting there, which grants the greatest enjoyment. When I have clarified and exhausted a subject, then I turn away from it, in order to go into darkness again; the never-satisfied man is so strange if he has completed a structure, then it is not in order to dwell in it peacefully, but in order to begin another. I imagine the world conqueror must feel thus, who, after one kingdom is scarcely conquered, stretches out his arms for others."
- Carl Friedrich Gauss
