- Next place in the world you would visit:
- I always want to spend more time in Japan, so probably at least another few visits there. After that likely Germany, UK, France, and Switzerland in no particular order
- Favorite thing to do when not working:
- Hard to pick just one favorite. Home improvement, PC gaming, all kinds of cars, new tech, finding new music, too many to list!
