After Stacer's chastisement, I am (finally) submitting myself for introduction. As Spriggan pointed out to me at Brandon's wedding, I was among the first to actually register at the site (in the top 10, I believe!), then proceeded to post absolutely nothing for some number of years. Imagine that. I entered a posting renaissance after Brandon's wedding, however, so here I am.
My name is Tom Conrad. I was Brandon's freshman year and back from mission roommate, or, as I've heard him put it, his oldest friend (break out the cane!). As his freshman year Magic acolyte and sometime dabbler in many things geeky, I've kept a pulse on the site here.
I did graduate from the Y a few years back with my degree in chemical engineering and have been working for Intel ever since. I am currently residing outside Portland, OR, although I generally claim that I'm from New Mexico. I have a house there. Don't ask; it's simpler that way. I am married and we are expecting our first in a few months. Yay!!
Oh, and I play competitive Scrabble and like to hike a lot.
