The most interesting thing about me is that I am a competitive Pokemon Trading Card Game player. I have travelled to 10 countries on 4 continents competing in tournaments. It is an interesting hobby and it has allowed me to make friends around the world. I enjoy being competitive, but I always focus on having fun first. Here is a picture someone took of me while I was competing in a tournament.
Aside from Pokemon, I am a fan of science fiction books, television and movies. I live on 5 acres of property so I spend some of my free time tending to the blueberry bushes and the fig, pear, walnut, and pecan trees. I enjoy foraging wild mushrooms and have a great recipe for chicken-of-the-woods nuggets.
