About Me

Unfortunately for all those waiting on me to post more builds, I do have a life outside of Lego, but here’s a little bit about it!

I recently graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with my degree in Applied Mathematics. I am hoping to move on to grad school in the Fall, but will be sticking around and staying busy in Illinois for the time being! If you or anyone you know goes to UIUC and likes Lego, be sure to check out the UIUC Lego Club! I spend a lot of my time on my studies, hence building is often a second priority for me. Outside of academics, I enjoy climbing and soccer (COYG). One of my favorite activities is to sit down and build with a game on in the background. All in all I am a very hobby oriented guy, and Lego just happens to be my most passionate one!

As for my Lego journey, I have been building for as long as I can remember. I always loved attending BrickCon Seattle every year growing up, and I even displayed a few MOCs back then! Like most builders, I had a long “Dark Age” during high school. After many years of considering myself too cool to go near Lego, it was the UIUC Lego Club that inspired me to get back into building! Since then I have been more passionate than ever about making and sharing my creations for everyone to enjoy, and it’s been a huge spark in my life. I’m always looking forward to meeting new people in the hobby, so if you ever see me at a convention, say hi!
