James Vergara: I Am Barnes & Thornburg
I AM...
- A second-generation Filipino American
- A former band kid, present band adult
- A nine-time marathon runner
- Also a speedrunner … of the New York Times crossword
- An avid gamer who is into the latest consoles, like the Switch, PS5, and Peloton
- Often embarrassed by my Shiba Inu in front of other dog owners
- Someone who has waited in line overnight for Saturday Night Live tickets on more than one occasion
- Obsessed with syntax, which dovetails into fascination with language (whether it’s native, foreign, or programming)
- Always on the lookout for new hiking trails and rad skate parks
- A pretty decent cook; ask me about my breakfast tacos
