I think: I'm an optimist, a glass half-full kind of guy. I have a good sense of humor and I'm totally okay with laughing at myself. I can be pretty sarcastic at times, but only in the good-natured sort of way.

I love: Art, Design, History, Mythology, Books, Science, Learning, Hiking, the beach, my sneakers, dreams, lost relatives, knowledge, and travel. Oh, and food too! Lately, I've been trying to cook more...and eat healthier foods. I'd like to ditch the commercial, chemically-manufactured, why is this food neon, type of grocery.

I've traveled to: Italy, the Caribbean, San Diego. Ask me about it. In the next decade I'd like to start traveling more. Like London, Spain, France, more of Europe that's for sure. Some of the other states in North America....you know, the good ones.

Life: Living in Brookline, MA with some roommates. Some exploration might be needed on the horizon. Perhaps San Francisco, San Diego. Someplace warmer, where the sidewalks don't get slippery in the winter.

Work: Designer & Illustrator. My job rocks! I actually like waking up on Monday for it. During the day I'm an UI/UX designer for a mobile app developer in Cambridge, MA. We make some cool apps for the iphone and ipad. Right now we're working on our first game.

I also illustrate too. Concept art, comics, editorial. Last year I self-published a graphic novel - called "The Curse of the Werewhale" - with some art friends from school. We hope to put out another issue this year.

Fun: I like walking around Boston. Seeing movies, hanging out with good friends. Kayaking. Biking. Concerts. Sketching in the park or on the T. Scrabble. Thinking about art projects. I want to try indoor wall climbing - anyone game?

I'm going to allow myself to gloat here and say art. (although, really, I'm my own worst critic). I like to draw and paint. Email me if you'd like to check out my art.

I'm also really good at geography & directions. I've got, like, internal GPS or something. If I ever get kidnapped and wake up in Mexico, I'll probably find my way back easy enough, or maybe I'll just wander around Mexico.

I wish I were good at telekinesis. Although, on occasion, I do change red lights to green while driving home.

Probably the red hair. It's very bright. You can actually see it from across the internet.

Books: Jonathon Strange & Mr. Norrell, The Road, A Brave New World, The Power of Myth, Harry Potter, A People's History of The United States, comic-books, art books. Currently Reading: Game of Thrones

Music: White Stripes, Jenny Lewis, Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, Earlimart, Soundtracks that make me want to rob European banks in the 1960's, Charlie Brown Christmas Music, Sufjan Stevens, mostly indie/alt, but older stuff too. Nina Simone, Johnny Cash ... You get the idea.

Food: Pancakes, Italian, Thai, Middle-eastern, Pizza, blueberries. Chips. Movie theater Popcorn, Veggies, Sushi. Did I mention Pancakes.

Movies: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Indiana Jones, Dark Knight, Royal Tenembaums, Lawrence of Arabia, The Incredibles, Anything Pixar for that matter, Back to the Future, Pan's Labyrinth, Star Trek, Superman the movie, Groundhog Day, Ghostbusters.

TV: Mad Men, The Walking Dead, Discovery and History Channel, Mythbusters, The Daily Show. Big Bang Theory, How I met your mother, Game of Thrones

In no particular order:
creativity
Laughter
inspiration
family
friends

Really, everything else is just extra. I can make due without a lot of things.

Everything. History. Mythology. Politics. Current or Future art projects. I day dream a lot.

If not hanging out with friends (dinner, movie)...I like Fridays low-key. Just vegging after a long week.

I sometimes twirl my hair when I'm bored. That's it, that's all you get internet dating website.

you're intrigued....
you want to sketch in the park or learn how to draw...
you want to see a movie at Coolidge Corner Theater...
you want to eat crispy pad thai...
you want to teach me something new...

Ultimately I'm looking for the real thing.
