Describe your role in MUIT in 10 words for less:<\/strong><\/h5>\nService Desk technician<\/p>\n
Favorite thing about working in IT or at MU:<\/b><\/h5>\n
I really enjoy the environment at Marshall and the people I work with. I love being in an environment where I’m comfortable and that is conducive to growth and learning as a professional.<\/p>\n
Favorite Restaurant in Huntington\/Charleston area:<\/b><\/h5>\n
If i have to pick a fast food place, it’s Chipotle for sure. For my favorite sit-down restaurant, I’d have to say Fat Patty’s, simply because of the atmosphere and how consistent it is.<\/p>\n
Favorite Vacay Spot:<\/b><\/h5>\n
Canaan Valley, no doubt. I’d rather be in the mountains than the beach any day.<\/p>\n
Who inspires you?:<\/b><\/h5>\n
Zach Bitter, current world record holder for fastest man to run 100 miles on a trail.<\/p>\n
Currently Watching\/Binging:<\/b><\/h5>\n
True Detective – season 3<\/p>\n
Best concert you’ve attended?:<\/b><\/h5>\n
This is a tough one, but I’d have to say LCD Soundsystem in Brooklyn, New York in December of 2017. A close second would be Run the Jewels in Columbus, OH in January of 2017.<\/p>\n
Something you can’t live without?:<\/b><\/h5>\n
Running. It’s the one thing I look forward to doing every day. I find it fun, and it provides me immense amounts of satisfaction. Overall, it makes me a physically and mentally healthier individual and provides me with confidence.<\/p>\n
Most adventurous thing you’ve done?:<\/b><\/h5>\n
I know this is something in the future, but I think it definitely qualifies as the most adventurous thing I’ve attempted thus far. On June 8th, I will be attempting a 41 mile ultramarathon in Canaan Valley called the Highland Sky 40.<\/p>\n
Hobbies\/Pastimes:<\/b><\/h5>\n
Running, of course, is a huge hobby of mine. When I’m not doing that, I’m more than likely listening to music or podcasts as I go through my day. For my leisure, I really enjoy playing video games and watching movies\/TV shows\/ stand-up comedy. I really enjoy the outdoors, and will take any opportunity I can get to go outside whether it be to hike or just to take a walk. I also have a close circle of friends that I hang out with, so ti’s always a joy whenever I get the chance to doing something with them.<\/p>\n
Coolest thing you’re currently working on?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\nAt work, right now I’m just currently adjusting to the new environment and getting everything I need setup, which, for me, is cool. I’ve never had a personal workstation\/space before at work so it’s cool to have a spot that is considered mine that I can do what I want with. In my spare time, I’ve been getting a parts list together to build a new computer in the next couple of months.<\/p>\n
