8 Random Facts

Logtar tagged me with a meme to post 8 Random Facts about yours truly. These are things that most people don’t know about me, so I thought it would be pretty fun. So, off we go…

• I have visited over half of the 50 states in the U.S., but I’ve never left North America. I’m hoping to change this soon.
• I had an opportunity to go on a 35 mile backpacking trek in the Sierras back during my early teen years when I was in scouts. Hiking past the tree line up to 14k feet where there is snow, even in the middle of July, was really damn cool.
• I’ve broken my nose while bodyboarding (face first, right into the sand in shallow water).
• I’ve broken my head while mountain biking… Took off a jump and bit it hard. Walked a few miles back to my apartment with my shirt held on the top of my head to stop the bleeding. The doctors used the medical equivalent of a staple gun to sew me back up. That event taught me to always wear a helmet while riding.
• I met my wife, Katrina, at the same location that Katrina’s parents met several years earlier.
• I have not seen any movie of the Star Wars trilogy in it’s entirety.
• Cereal makes a good breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
• I can’t stand going to see doctors or dentists… I do have regular dentist cleanings, but I haven’t been to see a doctor in the past 4+ years.
