Interests

I'm 28 and recently moved to Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love. When I'm not helping old ladies cross the street, I like to spend my free time watching movies, playing games and exploring Philly's food scene.

However, its easy to say that right now my main interest is web developement. Having ony recently entered the field, I find myself constantly trying to take in all the information I can about the topic. In addition to that I am also slowy teaching myself cook! Wow, aren't I interesting?
