After a long time away, I figured it was time to give okc another shot. I've been in Los Angeles for approaching 2 years now, but I still feel like a new east coast transplant. I love television and movies, and have a habit of getting to a theater way too early. I work as an assistant to a talent manager (which I've been enjoying more than I expected), while writing and producing on the side (I just finished producing an AFI Conservatory thesis film which I'm really proud of). I also love improv comedy, which I have been performing for the past six months or so. I have never been a huge fan of novels, but I'll read just about any book of essays. I collect skills. Some of my favorite places include the recently closed Yankee Stadium, MoMA, Copenhagen, and one bar in particular in upstate NY (just to name a few). I text people in complete sentences and litter just about everything I write with parenthetical asides (See above). I like nothing more than an engrossing conversation over good drinks (when the topic hits politics, pop cultural minutia, or sports I like a good argument even more). I frequently wear brightly colored sneakers whether it is appropriate or not.

By day I'm working at a management company, by night writing and producing, and doing improv whenever I can find the time. I'm not sure what the end goal is, but working hard and enjoying the process.

I collect records and love turning friends on to obscure and out-of-print/never-digitized music (but I'll keep the Captain Beefheart and Ornette Coleman stuff to myself...I promise)

Out with a small group of friends or chilling at home, with a good movie (Or that week's sitcoms of quality) and some popcorn.

Field of Dreams makes me cry every time - no matter how many times I see it.
