Additional Information
Remote work is all I will accept, as I am in constant contact with high-risk individuals and family members.
Hobbies
Hobbies and interests I have include:
- Technology and video games.
- Music, both listening and playing (guitar/bass).
- I am an avid player and student of the game of chess.
- I love and collect playing cards and try my hand at some amateur cardistry, and constantly try to learn new dexterity skills (contact juggling is next on the list).
- I love working with my hands, and fantasize about becoming a blacksmith (or developing the skills at least).
- I am hopelessly addicted to buying second hand books, most of which I will never read.
- I collect and play Warhammer (a tabletop game involving miniatures and dice), and I collect, build, and paint the models myself.
I spend most of my time at my PC, and most of my money on upgrading and maintaining it so that my gaming and work experience is always incredible. Yes, I'm a massive nerd.
