Scuba Diving

I have been a certified scuba diver since I was 14 years old. My dad and I try to dive as much as we can during the summer months.

Music

I love to listen to, play, and compose music. I believe that I have a very diverse taste in music.  I also enjoy going to concerts whenever I can.

Apple computers

I don´t hate PCs, I just prefer Apple computers. Although I prefer to install Linux on all non-Apple computers. I currently have a 17" MacBook Pro and a 24" iMac.
