Interests

Aside for my passion in development and engineering, I enjoy a variety of things. I am an avid car enthusiast, and enjoy wrenching, driving, and appreciating the hard work of other enthusiasts. I grew up in the middle of the Los Angeles import car scene (think of the original Fast and the Furious), and it has given me a lifelong appreciation of everything mechanical, and in particular modern vehicle technology.

I am also a huge hockey fan. I enjoy watching my favorite teams, the Los Angeles Kings and the Arizona Coyotes (though I'm always torn when they play each other). But I particularly enjoy watching my two favorite hockey players, my kids.
