I've ridden over 185 different roller coasters, and counting, and my favorite is Stardust Racers at Epic Universe. As for music, I sing and play the keyboard, and I love to listen to metal bands like Avenged Sevenfold. Aside from those, I really love doing math and working with students, so being an instructor gives me the best of both worlds!
