So what else do you do?

I play soccer. Fun Fact: I've played soccer in Denmark, Germany, and the Youth World Cup in Sweden. I also play guitar and maintain a healthy optimism that I'll be a rockstar one day. My ultimate engineering goal is to build a fully functioning iron man suit (I'm dead serious). I'm also proud to be the biggest super hero nerd I know, though Rishabh Rai comes close. Other than that, I usually just hang out with friends and family. Nothing terribly exciting, but if you challenge me at Fifa or Smash then you're going to lose.
