Snapshot

 

Tom Morphopoulos

What do you love doing in your spare time?

After years of running marathons with my wife, our weekends are now filled by our newborn and 2 year old boys.

What do you collect? (If anything)?

I have a small collection of vintage computing tools including an abacus, slide rule, and some old 9v LED calculators.

Where would you like to go that you haven't been and why?

Yellowstone National Park, embarrassing to admit that I have gone so long without exploring this local treasure. Plenty of great hikes, an opportunity to try fly fishing, exciting natural hot springs...
