Yeah, I once asked him:

-So how nerdy are you on the scale of 1-10?

Then he replied:

-Actually, I'm nerdy on the atomic level.

Not that much of a job really, but something fun to do while I'm not in school, and getting paid aint so bad either. But yeah, working with skiing in some way is awesome, I want to do that for the rest of my life. I think.
