Personal.

I love listening to, writing, and performing music. I play bass guitar, trumpet, piano, enough guitar to fake it, and not enough drums to fake it. I've performed at Dolly Parton's Stampede and in Washington D.C. In undergrad I hosted several weekly radio shows on our campus' student radio station. My tastes rotate between funk, disco, jazz, and pop. Lately I'm listening to Cousin Tony's Brand New Firebird, Parcels, Vulfpeck, L'Impératrice, Franc Moody, Fickle Friends, Dua Lipa, Superfruit, Chromeo, Breakbot, Jungle, The Marías, Van She, Caroline Polachek, … You can check out my Apple Music station (requires subscription). Note that this station is algorithmically curated based on what I listen to, not hand-selected. So all the cool tracks are mine but I disavow the ones you dislike — Apple must've chose those to play for you, not me. My taste is impeccable.

I'm interested in old school tabletop roleplaying games, like OD&D, BECMI, AD&D 1e and 2e, and Call of Cthulhu. In undergrad I wrote a play called A Stupid Game of Dungeons & Dragons which won the Hendrix-Murphy Foundation's Playwriting Contest for students and alumni and was performed in the Playwright's Theatre. In my spare time I've made my own rulesystem which is kinda based on OD&D and B/X. NB: it is very much a work in progress! If you playtest it, let me know how it goes!

I really like LEGO. I had a number of sets as a young kid and now that I am an older kid I have a much larger number. It's such a fun hobby to collect, build, and be creative. Someday I'd really like to sort and catalog my pieces to make my building projects go much smoother (and for curiosity's sake just to know the extent of my collection — I could estimate a number, but you wouldn't believe me so I'd prefer to bring receipts), but that's a herculean task.

I'm also trying to learn programming a little bit better. It's been a passive hobby for many years now but I've recently made it a point to become more proficient and adopt better practices. I started with GML (a Frankenstein's monster amalgamation of Javascript, C++, and C#) in 2005 but currently enjoy working in Python. From work I have picked up SQL and some conversational C#.
