Hobbies

Outside of school and computer science I have many hobbies. I enjoy hiking, backpacking, travel, fishing, cycling, running, photography, whitewater kayaking, and rock climbing. I also love anything mechanical (motorcycles and cars in particular). Basically anything that gets me outside and/or lets me tinker with gadgets I enjoy.
