I still love watching Schoolhouse Rock! and singing along with Conjunction Junction and A Noun is a Person, Place, or Thing. Outside of the world of academia, my interests lean toward entertainment and fitness, often both at the same time. I like to listen to comedy podcasts...

Football, basketball, tennis and soccer are my favorite sports, both to play and watch. Having grown up in the mountains of West Virginia, I am an avid skier...
