Updates will be put on project pages...
Outside of the previous hobbies I occasionally find myself at the local Wisconsin lakes (Devil's lake is my favorite) 20ft under water. Something about the technology necessary to achieve this feat and the blend of an almost weightless experience with an alien environment make scuba diving extremely attractive to me. Scuba diving in Wisconsin lakes is not always easy. In fact its often often uncomfortable, but its highly satisfying if you seek adventure. I absolutely do. I've been to 80 ft below the waves (~shivers uncontrollably~) and completed >35 dives. I now hold certifications for both enriched air and advanced open water diving. In the future, I'll likely complete a rescue course to prepare for emergencies that may arise and continue my pursuit to become a SCUBA instructor. Finally, I cannot wait for my first trip to tropical diving.
I have an endless fascination with mans place in the universe, and I am so excited to see someone thats trying to advance our civilization for more than their own capital gain. If you haven't looked recent human spaceflight achievements you may want to start looking, its gona get very interesting soon!
I've been playing competitive volleyball since early high school. During undergraduate I joined the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh team for a brief time where I got my start in truely competitive ball. Since then I've been lucky to compete in many tournaments throughout wisconsin including: King of the Beach (Sheboygan, WI), Walleye Weekend (Fond Du Lac, WI) and the prestigious Waupaca Boatride tournament (Oshkosh, WI). I continue playing for fun and exercise in local Madison tournaments at Turner hall and the occasional sand game at Ten Pin Alley in the summer.
