Michael's Story
I think I was a nerdy loner in high school. I eventually developed a few friends, but I was mostly viewed a bit of a misfit. I never applied myself academically until after I dropped out for a while and started developing my interests. I returned to Loyola after a 3 year absence from school and did much better than before.

I like to travel and spend time with family & friends. I enjoy books and podcasts about news, science, philosophy, skepticism, and psychology. And then there's music, food for the soul!
I was a skinny kid when I was growing up, but now I have to fight to keep the pounds off. I work out every day. I like the elliptical machine best.
