About me
Hi, I’m Neil! I am passionate about neuroscience, puzzles and reading. I love to solve all sorts of puzzles as well as LEGO and Rubik's cubes. My favorite books are Lord of the Rings and Wings of Fire.
I have been a triathlete since I was 7 years old and have been swimming longer than that. In my spare time, I can be found playing complex board games, working on my viola skills, scouting with my troop, volunteering, or playing with my 3-year-old hyperactive goldendoodle, Lucky!
