Hey, I'm DJ.
I live in the Bay Area and build iPhone apps.
But I grew up in Missouri playing a lot of golf and
I eventually ended up at Duke.
This is what I look like:
This is what I'm doing:
But I do some other things, too:
I don't play as much as I used to, but I get out there once in a while. I really enjoy playing the Stanford Golf Course and I've had a chance to play at Spyglass. Spyglass is breathtaking. Sometimes I just like to practice putting and chipping at Stanford's practice hole. I go at dusk by myself and just work on my game, it's peaceful. Here's a video of my swing.
I like to run
Running is my main outlet for exercise these days. No need to belong to a gym, just
start running. I actually enjoy it. Running lets me clear my head and just reflect. I ran
my first marathon in Nashville, TN on April 30th, 2011 with a few great friends. It was an
incredible experience. A group of friends came to cheer us on and even made signs
for each of us. It was wonderful. Also, it was exhilirating to physically and mentally push myself
to a place I had never been.
I like to write
I wrote a book. It hit
#1 in the Test Prep category of the Amazon Kindle Store.
It was just a fun little project with a random backstory. Get in touch with me if you want to hear it.
My blog is mostly about work so there aren't
very many personal stories. However, I like to journal and write letters (well, emails) to friends
catching them up on my life with a few stories. Writing helps me process my thoughts. I also get a
little sentimental when I write stories. Here's an
example. I wrote a story about my wonderful mother and it got republished.
