I'm an electrical engineer, caver, photographer, and nerdy maker hobbyist living in Albuquerque with my wife and our three teenage kids, along with some lazy fish and a chirpy bird. I'm a bit of a language nerd and would love to write to you in French (~C1) or Swedish (~B2). I also am decent in Spanish (~A2) and German (~A2). I have studied a reasonable amount of Italian, Russian, and Japanese in the past, and I have dabbled in a few others, but can't really correspond in those languages effectively (~A1 or worse). ️I also use Slowly (2E37QJ), but I'm giving this site a chance!
