Howdy! You have reached my running blog, which is under my online persona Planet3rry. Which is combination of the world “planet” and “Terry” with the “3″ added in there for my personal reference to Mathematics and Science.

I am an Thirty-Something Husband, Father, Runner, Triathlete, Statistician, Stock/Option Trader, Recycler,…

I currently live in Knoxville Tennessee with My Lovely and Talented Wife and my 2 kids (The Elder and The younger). We also have a Jack Russell Terrier that we pseudo-rescued called The Loud and Lovelable Skipper Doodle.

A Little About Me:

October of 2008, I was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome which falls under the umbrella of Autism. After the initial shock, things started to make sense. It explained WHY I did things the way I did and how I approach things in life. I can say now, knowing that I have Asperger’s  makes things even easier to handle. I’ve had years of unrealized therapy on how I interact with the world and you could say that I am pretty high-functioning.

I currently work for The University of Tennessee doing research work for them. I used to work in the Nuclear waste management field as a Hazardous Waste Broker, but decided to go back to school for sadistics Statistics and thus a career change.

My Hobbies include Running and Photography (Stella is the name of my Canon XT DSLR) which are both Special Interests of mine, thus they rule my world. I run everything from the 5k to the marathon and am always training for something. I have even started to coach some beginner marathoners which I enjoy. Trading (Stocks & Options) is rapidly becoming another one of my favorite things, especially since I can money doing this. I do enjoy gardening to some extent, but am satisfied with just having a few plants here and there.

I am in touch with my inner Tree-Hugger and am a stalwart recycler. I have been known to carry used plastics, glass, etc. back home specifically to recycle. I even took back my leaves this past fall because I wanted to recycle them… hell, it’s free mulch! If there is way that I can recycle something I will. It pains me to see some of the stuff that people throw out!
