When I’m not at work

Backpacking

When the weather is nice and time allows, it’s great to take a break from it all and get off the grid for a while.

Every year my father and I go backpacking. We pack up just enough to get by for a few days and head into the mountains to camp near a lake.

Here are some places we’ve gone, and the packing list we refined over many, many journeys.

Big Cottonwood Canyon, UT

Shoshone Falls Park, ID

Fremont Lake, CA

Fourth of July Lake, CA

Stone steps, HI

Murdock Peak, UT

Dungeons and Dragons

I’ve played D&D for many years, and it’s one of my favorite ways to spend time with friends.

Sitting around a table; creating a story together is magical.

To the right is a pretty funny picture of the set I created for the climactic battle of the Tomb of Annihilation adventure.

EVE Online

EVE (sometimes called Spreadsheets in Space) is an expansive, open-world game where nothing is safe, and nearly everything is player-made.

It’s a famously complex game where players make their own fun, or we group together to “create content”.
