Family

I have two parents, one older brother, one younger sister, and five awesome nieces and nephews between the ages of 10 and 22.

They are the coolest people in the world.

Syd is a female ball python who is 18 years old. She was named after Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd. As a baby in 2005, she lived with me in a college dorm, but we soon moved out to a real house in Dayton, Ohio. She now has her own room in my current house outside of St. Louis.  She enjoys napping in her warm cage and occasionally eating mice. I would strongly recommend ball pythons to any busy person trying to decide on a pet.

I love traveling and have been to about 20 different countries so far.  Working in Switzerland for six years was a really great opportunity to see different parts of the world.

I also love live music, especially anything related to the Grateful Dead. My first concert was George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic when I was 16. I still try to see local shows whenever I have time.
