About me

Gender Male
Occupation Graduate Student
Location Oxford, Ohio, United States
Introduction I love what I currently do. I use to be both a middle school and high school science teacher, but now I am onto bigger and better things. I was miserable as a public school teacher, couldn't deal with all the apathy of the students. I will be going for my Masters of Science in Zoology in the fall of '07 at Miami University of Ohio. I am a very outgoing person and sometimes outspoken. I love meeting people because you can never make too many friends. I like to start random conversations with strangers that I meet where ever I go. I am open minded and like to learn about things. I am a vegetarian, I sometimes used to cheat and eat fish (only wild caught and mostly as Sushi)but gave that up after hearing a plenary seminar on over-fishing. I like to think of myself as intelligent and well read. I am into music of all kinds (currently into the indie pop/rock scene), reading good books and zines, writing creatively, hiking and doing anything outside, etc. etc.
