Who is the fictional character you relate to the most?
I absolutely share Indy’s obsession with rescuing history. Indiana Jones, that is.
Though I’m not a college professor by day, I enjoy decoding clues to vanished eras. I am a collector of evidence, gathering overlooked fragments into my own personal archive—just without the giant rolling boulders, poison darts, or getting chased by angry mummies. I make sure their stories belong to the future instead of being forgotten.
I consider myself a genuine time traveler, but doing it successfully takes a rare blend of sharp observational skill and intense imagination. The world is full of people who notice only the big, flashy landmarks, or who find beauty exclusively in a perfect rose. My lens on life is entirely different. I can find absolute wonder in a simple, ordinary leaf.
But there’s more to it.
To me, these aren’t just objects. They are pieces of concrete evidence left behind by history.
When I track them down, my mind immediately kicks into gear. I can picture the busy printing presses, changing architectural styles, and the everyday people who built the world we walk through today.
I don’t just decorate a room or collect antiques for show. I am on a lifelong expedition to rescue forgotten fragments of our past and keep their stories alive.
Think of me as a resourceful treasure hunter willing to brave deadly traps and enemies…
overflowing dumpsters, sketchy antique-shop basements, and brutal Texas summer temperatures.
