About Mike B.
I was born in Texas and named Michael Thomas on February 22, 1979 at 4:19am. I currently live in San Francisco along the Golden Gate Park Panhandle. I am in my final year of law school at a university nearby.
I grew up in the Bay Area. I went to elementary school in Hayward and Fremont. I commuted to a high school in San Jose. I then attended a university in Pittsburgh. I then designed spaces with architects to integrate technology into buildings. Politics and world events in 2003 motivated me to get involved. Law school seemed to be the best avenue.
I'm known to frequent a local climbing gym, farmers' markets, and other wonders of this bustling city. I don't own a car. I abhor suburbia and commuting. I am a fan of sustainability concerns, renewable energy, efficiency, and design. I carry a Moleskine for making notes, and my camera is always close at hand. I read some books in my spare time, and watch many movies. I enjoy jasmine tea, live music, and biking around the city.
I have a long-term desire to learn Spanish, Mandarin, and to re-learn French. I want to climb (moderately-high) mountains. I want to learn how properly use my golf clubs, guitar, and surfboard.
