I'm a working playwright, music enthusiast, and New Yorker originally from Baltimore (and yes, I have a funny story about The Wire). I just took one of those Myers-Briggs tests on a lark and I'm apparently an ESFJ if that means anything to you? (I don't usually put too much stock in those kinds of tests... (although, considering how much this whole discussion has already taken up of my self-summary thus far, you'd maybe get the impression that I do, wouldn't you?) ...but, it seemed fun, so if you're curious about that sort of thing, wonder no more! I like to give the people what they want (ya know, within reason)). And, as you can see, I have no qualms using parentheses within parentheses.

I am a playwright and an adjunct professor.

Putting together playlists.

Music, my computer, my guitar, my friends, my family, writing.

Buying records (seriously, it's a compulsion).

Eating at new restaurants, seeing shows or movies, playing music with my friends, Karaoke if I'm lucky. Hopefully getting into an adventure of some sort? Or alternately, taking it easy, going to the gym, cooking dinner, writing, reading a book, and saving up my energy for Saturday. Depends on the weekend.

Ask me anything. I'm fairly forthcoming.

If you like going to shows. If you're not a Republican. If you're pursuing something you care about. If you enjoy sharing stories. If you've got a good sense of humor, an open and empathetic heart, a positive outlook, and a dash of self-awareness (for good measure).
