We graduated from high school in June 2010 (me from Masuk High in CT, him from Holliston High in MA) but we won't be going to college until Fall '11. We decided to defer our admission to the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering and take a gap year to see the world.
After our trek across Europe, I'll probably be working in some sort of internship from January to May. Although I have a few prospects, I don't have a confirmed position anywhere yet so I'll keep you updated on what's happening with that. In the summer (May through August) I'll hopefully be working as a Ranger at the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.
If you want to get to know me, it's easier to do so in person or by having a regular conversation. But I'll give you a bit of info here.
I define myself as a nerd. Many people think I'm putting myself down when I say that - but I look at it instead as a mark of pride. I enjoy being the tech-savvy one. I'm good at math and science. I absolutely love programming. I wear a USB bracelet that reads <N3RD> and sign my name in angle brackets. It's who I am.
On the flip side, I'm also an avid outdoorsman. I'm an Eagle Scout and I regularly hike and climb mountains for fun. One of my favorite activities when I'm on a hike is to just sit and enjoy the pristine beauty of the wilderness.
My greatest fear is mediocrity.
Keep on reading! We hit Europe in 15 days and things are going to get really interesting.
