Introduction A lifelong nerd of epic proportions, I was raised on Dungeons and Dragons, Doctor Who, Monty Python, Shakespeare, sci-fi and fantasy. I'm one of "those people" you see at the Renaissance Festival every weekend. I'm an avid reader, and a bit of a goofball. I'm working on finding ways to embrace fitness as part of my geeky identity.
