Interesting Facts
- The first time I ever said a word, I spoke an entire sentence. I said, "Shut Up, Baby" to my little sister who woke up before me in the crib next to mine.
- I once was on my own final exam in college when my professor used a blog post I had written (he didn't realize I was in the class). I got the question wrong because I answered, "The author of this doesn't know what he is talking about but is likely mildly attractive." The professor didn't get it.
- On a related note, I dropped out of college in my Junior year. I was asked to come back 9 months later to give a speech on SEO and how to get a job.
- I lived in the Caribbean for a month crewing a sailing vessel. At one point, I visited an abandoned resort where I almost accidentally burnt down the island. Life Lesson, abandoned hotels are very flammable.
- Every year I try to do one good act of revenge. My favorite ones have been tin foiling all of my friends' possessions and filling a different friend's room with packing peanuts. I spent a year secretly collecting packing peanuts before filling the room. My friends don't play pranks on me anymore.
- I have my SCUBA certification, skydiving license and am an eagle scout.
- I once toured around Mexico for about a month with a band called Del La Vega. I am in their most popular music video.
- I once spontaneously drove from Seattle to Las Vegas because I missed a Blue Man Group concert. I hear the show is much better in Vegas, anyway.
- One time I ate three full sized cherry pies in the three minutes to become the pie eating champion of Sammamish, WA. It was awesome.
- One glorious time, I built a raft out of drift wood, some discarded rope and a tarp. It was truly a magnificent sight and it even made authentic boat noises.
