MopedsWhen I spent my first summer in Colorado, my roommates each had a moped. I never quite understood the appeal, that is, until I finally rode one a couple months into the summer. What a blast! I caught the bug. It's been all downhill since then...
Riding mopeds is always a blast, but another really cool thing that came out of this hobby was actually learning about mechanical things. I've never worked on cars or small engines before, and being able to learn by getting my hands dirty has been awesome. As someone who spends all day working on a computer, it's really nice to have a hobby that steps away from the screen.
And then, of course, blending my tech and engineering background with my passion for mopeds led me to my electric moped project...

BikingI'm not your quintessential Coloradan -- I'm not super into hiking, I don't ski much, and I'm not into the brewery scene. Biking, however, has been one part of the culture that has rubbed off on me.
I bought a nice hybrid bike, and started biking around town (and to yoga) and up and around the dams by the reservoir west of town. 
Once I started to catch the biking bug, I got a mountain bike as well. Still new to the game, but I've really been enjoying it so far!

GuitarThe summer before my freshman year, I began learning to play guitar. While the chaos of school prevented me from taking lessons, I've slowly learned things on my own. I enjoy taking a half hour every now and then to just jam and de-stress. I will forever love my Shark, and my new blue Ibanez!
