User:Nationalparks

Hi! My name is Scott and I'm a graduate of the atmospheric science department at MIT. I previously graduated from MIT with a bachelor's degree, as well. I was a member of the MIT team of the WxChallenge and the MIT Wind Ensemble.

My main hobbies include:

Visiting national parks (and collecting national park passport stamps) -- I have been to 346 of the 391 national park units in the US. By the time I was 16, I had been to all 50 United States. I have been to 8 countries: .
Composing and listening to film soundtracks.

My favorite national park is Bryce Canyon in Utah.

My favorite soundtracks are those from the Lord of the Rings movies, composed by Howard Shore. I like everything by John Williams. I also love the music from Reflections of Earth.
