Actions the name, and actions my game. I am not a man of many talents, but what i am good at, is using my body to have amazing adventures. Ever since i was young i couldnt help but run around and explore and see just how much i could do with the limbs i was given. I am an athletic and agile individual and enjoy action sports and activities.If i could be anything, i would love to be a proffessional hockey player. It is one of my greatest passions ever since i was little. My whole family of two sisters, mom and dad have all played at some point in their lives so my world is envolved in it. My favorite hockey team is the Boston Bruins and i have watched them since before i can remember. They were actually quite terrible up until recently so as you couldprobably assume i am loving life now. Since i didnt become that proffessional hockey player, i decided i would still put my body to the test. I enjoy a range of action sports and have excelled in many. For example, i started skiing at the age of 3 and now at 20 years of age i have taken three trips to Colorado to snowboard on some of the most challenging and exhilarating peaks this country has to offer. I am also an avid swimmer and proffeciently skilled on a diving board. On land i am able to only do backflips and side flips. But on a diving board i can do double flips and flips with side spins and graceful dives as well. I have also been involved in soccer, and baseball although i stayed with soccer for much longer. I would say one of the craziest things i have ever done was taking a plunge out of an airplane after asking my tandem instructor to flip as many times as safely possible. I got what i wanted adn it was otherworldly. I mean, i literally had no clue which way the Earth was. Someday i hope all these skills will come in handy in some situation but if they dont ill still be happy i can do them. I also enjoy cinema and tv too. There's just nothing like seeing a new movie on the big screen for the first time. I'm from a very small town but never wished to grow up anywhere else. I am currently involved in a program at Umass Amherst that allows you to customize a major and i am hoping to find a job in the video game industry in the future. I beleive myself to be creative and hope that will help in my endevour. I am very excited for whats to come in life after college. Even though i know it will be hard being thrust into the real world, i am curious as to what it has in store for me.
