Miscellaneous
Tima is a voracious reader of NMR spectra and Ludwig Wittgenstein who uses his limited spare time to study when he’s not running. Other than cooking up a mean roast pork loin with smoked paprika, Tima often finds himself with the many teams of people in his life both in Farmington and elsewhere in the U.S. In his extensive 7 minute commutes to the health center, you may often find him listening to Macklemore, Faded Paper Figures, Portugal The Man, or a variety of jazz albums. Snowy winters allow him to shred the nar on the rather unimpressive East coast slopes, while windy days along the coast are particularly nice for windsurfing. His favorite runs are <15°F sunny long runs along the Chicago Lakefront and WeHa Reservoir trails with his teammates. He would also include his long runs from high school but unfortunately only 3 people showed up to those on Sundays so they weren’t as exciting and it was never <15°F in NC.

Emmett has always had a love for running and while he did not pursue NCAA athletics in College,
a desire to keep training helped bring together Providence College’s club track and cross-country team.
When he wasn’t running, Emmett was in the lab studying histological slides or tending to genetics experiments with fruit flies.
After school, he often could be found fly-fishing on the river, watching Premier League Soccer, SCUBA diving, or homebrewing beer.
