Finally graduated from an undergraduate program after 9 years. Funny thing is, I still have 2 more years of post-bacc work!

Tailgating, fishing, the beach, and celebrations!

A collection of pictures from my deployment to Afghanistan between Jul 2005 and Jun 2006. Most of the pictures were in surrounding regions of Gardez, Afghanistan, located in the Paktia province.

A present to myself after my deployment to Afghanistan. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end: I recently sold her to fund other hobbies!

Our trip to Seattle involved trail hiking on Twin Falls Trail, snowshoe hiking on Gold Creek Pond Trail, and urban hiking in Seattle\'s fish market and Olympic Sculpture Park.

Cait and I took a little hike in Hillsborough River State Park. I am looking forward to returning with a kayak!

A little south of the Hillsborough River State Park lies the John B. Sargeant Sr. State Park. Here you can go kayaking/canoeing (for a small fee) and have someone pick you up in a school bus several miles down the river.

Silver Springs, Florida is a fun place to kayak. If you are a birder or adventurer, you\'ll enjoy the wildlife. On the weekends there are unfortunately a mass of boats that travel the length of the river. On our particular weekend, we didn\'t get to see the rhesus monkeys, because the air boats scared them away from the rivers edge. However we did see an assortment of birds. Many of which are in the following album.

Anclote Key State Preserve is a truly magnificent habitat. There is no wonder why it is considered arguably the best natural beach on Florida\'s southern Gulf Coast.

All good stories usually involve something that goes terribly wrong. This story involves a boat sinking with people on-board!

I visited Louisville, KY while interviewing at University of Louisville for a Radiology Residency position. These are some of the restaurants and activities I was able to explore during my short stay to this amazing city.
