Hello Internet, 

Over the years I've tried to narrow down where I fit in as a person. I was never "the jock" or "the nerd" or "the sensitive one." I've realized I am all of these things and that's pretty sweet. I am a little nerdy - time travel is my kryptonite and as a kid I wished and wished for my future self to pick me up in a DeLorean (without unravelling the spacetime continuum of course). Don't even get me started on time-turners and wormholes. I'm a little beachy - I grew up by the ocean in Costa Mesa, CA and I love skimboarding, sand between my toes, bonfires and being on the beach way too late at night. I am at peace snowboarding and being in the mountains. I am a sports fan - one of my earliest memories of Christmas was watching the Lakers play and listening to Chick Hearn and Stu Lantz expertly call the games. I am competitive - I blame my older brother for that. Board games and billiards are not just fun and games. I am a music lover - you can just as easily catch me listening to KRS-One, Wu-Tang Clan or Run DMC as you could Modest Mouse, New Found Glory or Built to Spill. There are plenty more juxtapositions but my point is I float between different people, ideas and cultures. I am very lucky to call Los Angeles, California home where we don't have to be just one thing. We can be anything and everything. 

I love stories. I love listening to them. I love watching them. I love telling them. I want to tell the hardest stories and tell the most light hearted stories. I want to challenge, inform and let people escape. I've been fortunate enough to be able to do that and for that I am very grateful.

Love, laughter and tacos.
