I love to use my spare time to draw and create different forms of artwork, I have always had the ability to draw and I spent a lot of time during my childhood to develop my skills as an artist. Recently, I have been editing my drawings using my laptop to create logos and other forms of artwork. I have used word 2010 to modify some of the images and add certain affects like 3D elements and glow diffusion, which is something I never thought of trying before. This up coming fall semester I plan on taking art courses to learn new techniques for shading.

Athletic Interests

Two years ago I took up skimboarding, and after cracking my ankles against the board quite a few times I have become quite good at it. I found out about the sport when I took a weeks vacation to Naples, Florida during my back in 2009 during spring break and I knew it was something I had to try atleast once, since I'm an avid snowboarder and an ex skateboarder. It took me a year or so to get the timing and balance right, and shortly after that I was able to jump off of waves. My goal for this summer is to learn how to ride an incoming wave like someone would be able to do with a surfboard. I'm already considering taking up surfing as well, I figure the balance is similar to what is needed in snowboarding. Hopefully, all those childhood summers I spent watching sharkweek on the Discovery channel won't deter me from learning how to surf. During the winter I play hockey in addition to snowboarding, I began back in 2003 and after many years of practice I have been able to score an average of twenty to thirty five goals a season for the past three years.
