Where I went to school: Duke, Columbia
My work: Architect
I like to cook, play guitar, explore cities, hike, walk (or rollerblade when possible), build things, solve problems, read the New Yorker, bird watch, travel by train, bike around the village, canoe in nearby waterways, and eat pizza. I'm an architect. I have traveled all over the USA, mostly on backroads.
