For Fun:
I like hanging out in my backyard on sunny days with friends and family. Watching the sun rise on my morning run is one of my very favorite things. I enjoy bowling, volleyball, and playing wii. I love to torment my kitty as much as he loves to boss me around.

For a Living:
I am a Senior QA Analyst and it's fun because I get to play with software all day and try to break it. I also do all the document editing and web design as a side job as well.

On Religion:
I grew up  Catholic but I am a member of the  Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. I believe that most religions are a path to the same God. What I'm not so sure about is whether we need the religion to be on the path.

On Politics:
I am socially liberal, fiscally conservative, and  politically and spiritually  libertarian. Maybe a little schizophrenic.

Diet Coke
Strawberry Pop Tarts
The scent of coffee brewing in the morning
