Hobbies

• Games of all sorts -- I generally prefer modern German-style games, but I enjoy lots of other things as well. Some of my current favorites are:
  • Tigris and Euphrates
  • Twilight Struggle
  • Power Grid
  • War of the Ring
  • Puerto Rico
  • Age of Steam
  • Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage
  • 1960: The Making of the President
    
    
• Music -- Singing, writing, and playing keyboards. I currently play in the band at my local church, Victory Point Ministries. I've written about several songs in the last three years. I'm in the process of recording them into a (very amateur) CD project in my basement. I do some sequencing and music-related computer programming, and I am currently taking voice lessons.
  
  Here is my current basement setup, including a Yahama digital piano, a Roland RS-50 synth, a small mixer, and a (very old) laptop that I use for MIDI sequencing:
