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 currently reside in Los Angeles, CA with my incredible wife, Candace and our bull terrier, Veruca Salt. Yes, she’s earned the name. They keep me grounded and push me to be the best I can be - Veruca has taught me patience since day one and boy have we learned it! Candace is a talented and prolific creator in her own right. Look her up. :)

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.
