Interests/Hobbies

I like doing just about anything out in nature. I hike, camp, backpack, and fly fish often. I enjoy writing and maintain a blog about my fly fishing adventures. You can see it at http://www.thetroutzone.com. I enjoy rock-climbing as well as sports. I also enjoy meteorology, particularly severe storms and storm chasing. In addition to math, I also love history and read a lot of history books in my leisure time. Most important of all though is my relationship with Jesus.
