Introduction	Hello, my name is Robert and I am a Grad student at Portland State University. I study Japanese History and I am also a Graduate Mentor with the University Studies dept. I moved to Portland in 2002 to from Indiana, which may have been the best idea I ever had. Since then, I met my wife Amy, gotten a Bachelor's degree in History and served a lot of beer. I love a good, complicated book, but I also enjoy some quality time vegging out watching anime. I also love doing pretty much anything outdoors, especially riding my bike, backpacking, and surfing. There are a quite a few things that irritate me, like advertising, but I try not to let them get to me. All I really want out of life is a mystery to solve, good friends, and some quality time with Amy.
Interests	Rock Climbing, Surfing, swerving through traffic on my bike, English and Japanese Literature...and more
