About me:

.. ..
Born in Redwood City, CA, on August 8th, 1982. The Family moved up to Medford, Oregon when I was about 3 1/2 years old. Pretty much grew up in Southern Oregon, living there all the way until I graduated from North Medford High School in 2001.

Went to the United States Military Academy in West Point, NY straight out of HS for a year, and then came back to Oregon. Played a season of Soccer at Southwestern Oregon Community College in the Fall of 2002, and then returned back to Medford for Computer Graphic Design at the start of 2003.

Spent the next few years doing some school and working. Really was unsure on the direction that I wanted to go with my life, and wasn't ready to completely jump into anything fully. Currently an International Studies major at Southern Oregon University. Studying in Seoul, Korea at Yonsei University for the 07/08 school year (language study).

Have been playing soccer since I was 6, and don't plan on giving it up anytime soon. Seem to get injured rather frequently, but I guess that kinda comes with the position (goalkeeper). I really enjoy getting out and going for runs as well as biking. Ocean Beach and the Embarcadero are two of my favs in SF. In Seoul I usually bike the Han River and the hills in Ahyeon and Edae.

Love to kick back with friends and watch movies. Very much a fan of Asian Cinema, with an emphasis on Korean & Japanese films. My favorite types of restaurants are Thai, Korean, & Japanese.

Gonna be heading back to the states for a month for Christmas. Looking forward to hanging out with the family for the holidays and hopefully getting down to the Bay Area to visit relatives and friends.

BTW, did you know that my last name, Cotta, is surname number 31,432 in the USA? Check it out!
