I'm known for being an up, high-energy, and optimistic kind of guy.

It's hard to force creativity and humor.
Al Yankovic
Image
That's a big part of my life - doing things that I'm not prepared to do. Doing things that I don't know how to do, and keep doing them until I get good at them. I always try to put myself out of my comfort zone and out of my depth, and hopefully somewhere along the line I'll catch up.
