The last line from his CV is a gem:

"Two years experience in swing dancing (east coast swing and lindy hop)."

Swing dancing is wonderful, and is very compatible with the analytical nerd brain as far as building up something beautiful from components, expressing yourself within a structure, getting physical exercise, etc etc.
