While I enjoy working out and take pleasure in physical activity and exercise in general, my real passion is in Systems Theory & Design, this is where much of my personal time is dedicated. Given the demanding and rigorous nature of the projects/portfolio I've put together however, I do appreciate work environments which engage the body rather than the mind.
