Dustin relishes robots, video and board games and puzzle hunts. A successful coach for the Ross Park Elementary LEGO robotics team (Go, Wonderbots!), he has taken them to the state tournament four times and to Worlds, once, and also mentors the high school robotics team. Dustin collects and regularly plays board games and has historically attended at least one large board game convention each year (usually GenCon in Indianapolis). He builds, fixes and tinkers with computers for himself and friends regularly. Finally, Dustin has organized teams for a number of different puzzle hunts, his latest infatuation, including for the famous MIT Mystery Hunt. Forget golf; one of these days, Dustin plans to take a client puzzle hunting!
