Most of my waking hours are dedicated to research. However, I believe in the importance of putting my will to the test in as many ways as possible. I wrestled in middle school and high school (1995-2001). In the summer of 2008, I came across MMA, through which I found brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo. I trained bjj at Maxercise and Balance Studio and judo with Philadelphia Judo, Drexel Judo, Penn Judo, Main Line Judo, and Liberty Bell Judo. I enjoy doing both as a break from the rigors of staying up nights programming.
