Michael L. Reise

I'm an Electrical Engineer and Sustainability Architect that designs electrical infrasturcture with energy efficiency and economics in mind. I live in an apartment and love to travel. Below are a couple of my hobbies...

Triathlon: I compete as an extension of my love for cycling; I train to help myself maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.

Board Games: I started playing video games when I was four years old, but sitting down at a table to engage with people is so much more interactive, social, and fun.

Aquarium: I have a 65g Aqueon stocked with a mated pair of Ocellaris Clownfish (Cora & Hobbes), a Yellow-Eye Kole Tang (Phoebe), a Flame Angelfish (Cindy), a Banghai Cardinalfish (Emperor Tao), a Longspine Urchin (Polyphemus), and a colony of Duncanopsammia Coral (Duncan).

Music: I began listening to electronic music in the form of drum and bass while studying for exams in college. This makes sense given my affinity for complex, overlapping rhythms from high school drum line. However, I slowly transitioned to trance / progressive music because of the more melodic lines. I have seen Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Armin van Buuren, and Above & Beyond live.

Red Letters: I'm a Christian that actively tries to put what Jesus said into action, which is counter-cultural to much of the modern world. The most convicting messages for me are the Sermon on the Mount (Mt 5-7) and Jesus at the Feast of Booths (Jn 7:24).
