I live in Santa Cruz, and have been living here for most of the last 7 years. I've got a cool job in Downtown Santa Cruz, where I spend the majority of my life at this point. It makes it hard to meet people. I'm also a bit shy around strangers, which doesn't help.

In my free time, I like to work on art projects (whatever kind, doesn't matter much to me), work on my blog, or play records on the radio. I went to school for photography, so I have a camera addiction. I also am pretty partial to retro games, like old-school Nintendo and Sega. I'd like to read more than I do, but I manage to get through a book or two a month. I'm basically a nerd. It took me years to come to terms with being a nerd, but I'm okay with it now.

I like music a lot. I listen to tons of different stuff. I grew up listening to electronic music and hip hop, but I'm a big fan of reggae and punk rock, too. That's what I do for a living, I work for a music website. It's a fun job, I get to order new music for the website.

I live in Midtown Santa Cruz with one roommate and my little doggie, Bobby. I'm down to kick it, too. I like going out for coffee or drinks, and I love going out for pizza or Chinese Food (Peach Garden FTW). Whenever I get the chance, I drive up to SF to visit my brother and hang out in the city. I'm always up to go out and do something, but I'm down to just stay in and hang out, too.

Spending my grocery budget on punk rock records, midnight snacking, avoiding prosecution, upping my croissant game, abiding by non-disclosure agreements and cease-and-desist orders, getting rid of most of my possessions, broadcasting on a pirate radio station no one listens to (just like The Adventures of Pete and Pete)

I'm really good at returning high-fives (good accuracy). I kick ass at old-school arcade games like Galaga and Tempest.

People don't know what I'm talking about half the time, because I make so many pop-culture references. I am hetero sexual though, remarkably. I'm also a little shy around people I don't know. So people probably notice that. Then once people get to know me, they realize that I'm not really shy at all.

Right now (while I'm writing this) I'm listening to The Clash and The Spits are next. I really like a lot of the new electronic music coming out these days, too. I'm reading a cool book about a serial killer that the publisher sent me to review on my blog. I'm excited about the new seasons of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The Simpsons. My favorite thing on TV right now is The Venture Bros. I enjoy rediscovering forgotten movies of the 80's and 90's.

I think I could get by with fewer than six things.

Weird stuff. I should write science fiction or something.

Going out for a couple drinks, it's unseemly for a single man to stay home. Maybe playing records on the radio with some friends. Maybe falling asleep at 6pm and not waking up until Saturday. It kinda depends. I'd like to go out more than I manage to.

Message me for whatever. I'm a nice guy.
