Well, you know the old saying…all work and no play….
This picture is from a recent joint outing with Park Nicollet and Health Partners IT departments. I was able to break 100….let’s just leave it at that….
Some of my other interests include
Building websites: Nothing fancy. WordPress mostly; but when I do build full sites, I use PHP and MySQL. I’m an honorary member of Sigma Pi at Iowa State, so I manage their web domain and advise them on their site. I also manage the site for Sigma Pi at the University of Iowa.
SCUBA Diving: I don’t get to do this much lately; but I am Rescue Certified. I’ve dove in Alaska, Florida and Jamaica. Reef diving is fun; but I get a real kick out of deep dives (90 feet +), night dives and wreck dives.
Target Shooting: I was big into this as a kid; but didn’t get back into it until this year. It’s a great way to hang out with friends and family. And what better way to prep for the zombie Apocalypse <he says with tongue planted firmly in cheek>
Fishing: Honestly, I fish about once in a blue moon; but I do love being out of the water – it’s very relaxing.
Gaming: Computer games – what kind of IT geek would I be if I wasn’t into that? No console gaming here – strictly PC games. Preferably ones I can play online with friends from college. It’s a great way of keeping in touch with friends who are scattered around the country.
