About me [Permalink]
I just received a questionnaire at work that I thought would be fun to pass along.

Where were you born?
The Mile High City (Denver, Co).
Where did you go to school & what did you study?
I went to BYU and got my degree in Computer Science.
What is your favorite food?
My wife’s home made salsa. Heaven!
Are you married? Do you have kids? How many kids?
Married with four kids: a genius, a diva, a mermaid, and a cutie pie.
How do you like to spend your free time/favorite hobbies?
I like to read obscure articles on the internet and imagine having friends who are interested in the same things. I also enjoy painting miniatures, stargazing, and snowboarding.
What is your greatest strength?
I am tenacious. \tə-ˈnā-shəs\ - adjective - persistent in maintaining, adhering to, or seeking something valued or desired.
What languages do you speak?
English and techno babble. I’d learn Klingon, but then people might think I’m a geek!
Favorite movie?
I’ll give you a hint. It has little people with furry feet, magic rings, big scary monsters, and a really cool evil eye.
Have you ever bungee-jumped, sky-dived, base-jumped or anything like that???
Are you insane? Once the singularity gets here and I can download my brain into a new body anytime I feel like it, I’ll try something like that :)
What is your favorite place that you’ve traveled to?
A private beach on the Baja peninsula in Mexico. There’s nothing like going out on the beach in the middle of the night with no lights and no people as far as the eye can see and look up at the stars.
In your opinion what is the worst sound?
A crying baby at 3:30 am.
What is one of your pet peeves?
People who drive slower than me in the fast lane.
Tell us something about yourself that no one in the Company knows.
I never watch sports. Ever. Unless my kid is on the field. If it appears that I know something about a current sporting event, it’s because I intentionally researched it the day before so I could talk about it at the water cooler.
Where is your dream vacation?
The presidential suite in a five star resort on the moon.
What is your favorite sport/team?
See above.
Do you have any pets?
I’m a dog person.
What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
Chocolate, all the way baby!
What was your first job as a teen?
Does mowing the lawn count? If not, then it would be bagging groceries at the local store.
What country are your ancestors from?
England. And I am quite sure there’s royal blood in my veins ... somewhere. Feel free to refer to me as “Your Majesty”.

Hey, you learn something new every day. I never knew that you were born in Denver. I assumed you were born in SLC like the rest of the family.

BTW - I've met some of your friends and its a scary group when you get together!
