Hometown?

Manchester, NH

What was your first memory of using computers?

It was a warm Summer morning and school was out. Life was simple, not a worry in the world. My sister, brother and I booted up our family computer, running Windows XP. We slid our cherished 1996 CD-ROM copy of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego into the optical drive. Our lives were complete. Life would never get better.

When you’re not found in front of a computer you are…?

Playing golf or disc golf with friends, reading or taking a drive.

What was the last great book you read?

Cult of the Dead Cow by Joseph Menn.

What would you do if you had an extra 5 hours every week?

Focus more on my health and personal growth.

If you could go anywhere for an entire month, where would it be and why would you go there?

I would like to travel through Europe, starting in Scotland, traveling through places like Germany, Monaco and Romania and finish the trip in Thailand. I think it would be cool to explore the diverse geography and cultures.

What are you most frequently heard listening to?

It really depends on the season. Spring and Summer, I’m rocking out to post-hardcore/punk/metal but also rotate through country. In the Fall, I’m usually gravitating toward hip-hop. Winter is focused more on alt-rock, indie and synth.

Favorite sports teams?

Boston all the way! Except for hockey, Go Rangers!
