Me on the Durand Ridge of Mount Adams, ready for a fun ascent.

Hi, my name is Paul. I am twenty-two years old.

Education and Professional

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in electrical engineering from The University of Connecticut, and am currently a graduate student there.

I am now employed as an engineer, helping develop surface acoustic wave devices for signal processing.

Interests

In my free time, I enjoy climbing, mountaineering, backpacking, hiking, mountain biking, road biking, canoeing, and most other outdoor activities.

Since July 2007, I have climbed twenty-five 4000 footers of the northeast, including all thirteen in the Presidential Range.

I love music; I play the drums and occasionally the guitar.

Wikipedia

I enjoy creating new articles and adding to existing articles -- usually regarding mountains, engineering, and physics concepts.

In my travels to the mountains I have taken many pictures, some of which I uploaded to enhance otherwise boring articles here on Wikipedia:
