Other Stuff

==== Hobbies other than shaving ====
I am an avid woodworker. Mostly I enjoy building furniture for the in-laws and my parents. I have recently begun working on a humidor cabinet to house the fruits of another hobby of mine.

I don't know of anything more relaxing than sitting on my back porch, smoking a cigar with a glass of bourbon or scotch. In fact, I was directed to B&B by a member of an online cigar community.

Baseball is my absolute favorite sport (followed by football). I played in high school and college and I believe that the Houston Astros are the absolute greatest franchise ever, and no you will never convince me otherwise.

Other Other Stuff

I currently work as an engineer for Boeing on the new 787 airplane in Everett, WA.

I went to RPI (Rensselaer) in upstate NY, and bonus points for anyone who has heard of RPI. I also have a degree from Southern Cal though I have never once set foot on campus, another reason to love the interweb.

At RPI, I joined Phi Kappa Theta fraternity and am still active as an alumni. I will preach the benefits of my fraternity to anyone who will listen.

The Plan

So now that I can shave myself "DE style" without too much thought, I am starting to think about going cut-throat. This will have to wait until I stop traveling so much but it will definitely happen soon.
