It's hard to present a full picture of myself here, but I try to update my profile every so often. So if you're interested, stop by from time to time to see what I've changed or added.

I make things up for a living, which is kind of a dream come true. And while I love what I do, I have plenty of other interests and am fascinated by other people's passions too.

I'm a "seeker" and find myself attracted to people with a similar attitude. I love learning new things and hope to never stop growing and evolving as a person. To that end, I am almost always working on a personal project or goal. Last year I did my first sprint triathlon. And this year, I'm training for the Tough Mudder. But I've been known to do things just because it'll make for a good story.

I'm not perfect, but I try to live my life with integrity and value those who do likewise. Honest people and good communicators get bonus points in my book.

Seeing the big picture, coming up with new ideas, and making people laugh.

My green eyes and then my sense of humor. I'm pretty friendly most of the time, but I like to sit back and observe when around a lot of people I don't know.

Books (partial list): the enthralling Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin (which I've been reading since book two); the gritty and futuristic Takeshi Kovacs trilogy by Richard K. Morgan; Roald Dahl's twisted short stories; the seminal Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury; the wickedly funny Lamb by Christopher Moore.

Movies: Casablanca; Comedian; Hedwig and the Angry Inch; Fight Club; Pleasantville; Pump Up the Volume; Secretary

Plays: The Time of Your Life by William Saroyan; Equivocation by Bill Cain; The Book of Mormon musical

Food: I love spicy food, such as Thai and Indian. I also like Italian, sushi, and classic comfort foods.

Imagination, books, movies, friends, games, and the Internet.

Possibilites.

I'm usually out with friends or at home working on a project.

The better you get to know me, the more embarassing stories I'll tell about myself.

I love the Pacific Northwest--yes, even the rain--but I'm not terribly outdoorsy. I try to remain active, but hiking, camping, and skiing are freak occurrences for me. So I'd be poor company if those activities are important to you.

On the other hand, I love going out to dinner, watching a movie, or taking in a play. So do let me know if you're interested in those sorts of things.
