Geology seems to creep its way into most of my personal interests. I love being outdoors, enjoy camping, hiking, kayaking, and skiing (when the snow is covering up all those cool rocks). I also enjoy mineral collecting and always jump at the opportunity to get out into the field and collect minerals. Gazing at the stars (I'm also a bit of an astronomer) fills those evenings at the campsites. When I do stop thinking about geology, or am forced inside by the weather, I enjoy playing guitar (although that often happens around the campfire), reading and crossword puzzles.
I also have 2 goofy cats, Cubby (left) and Leo (right). They really like to help me work on the computer and are the cause of many typos!
