About Me

I usually find it hard to talk about myself. "Tell me about yourself" is probably my least favorite interview question as I feel it's a bit too vague, like I doubt an employer cares about my collection of video games and consoles. I also don't really like talking about myself as I like keeping my private life private, shocking in the modern age when it seems like everyone can't shut up about themselves and posts basically every minute detail of their personal lives on social media, "Oh, Janis just took a dump in the Arby's bathroom at 3rd and Bleeker Street, how wonderful!". Anyway, that's enough "old man yells at cloud" for one page.

To be a little bit more personable, my name is J. I'm 25. Married to a wonderful woman, and have an adorable little girl. I enjoy living a relatively quiet life with my family, playing video games, and working on whatever hyperfixation my brain decides to rail me on for that week.

As much as I don't like talking about myself, I DO love talking about things I'm interested in. So poke around the page, get to know a bit about me, and maybe we will connect over shared interest, or maybe you'll discover something new you'd be interested in.
