**currently I work nights at my venue, so non-night owls beware**

I'm a sound designer and audio engineer, and I can't imagine having another profession. I like to cook, read up on politics, and I'm more adventurous than I appear to be. My sense of humor is a bit dark and I feel like nothing is off limits when it comes down to joking about something. Teaching myself composition.

I'm usually surrounded by people who lead crazy alternative lifestyles and it keeps me on my toes, a hazard of working in live entertainment and theatre. I'm fairly rational about most things and make a clear division between work and play, although my job is like playing every day I do it.

I've toured 14 countries in 6 months. As a result, I'm planning to make a return to Europe and see more of it. Mainly France, Spain, and Italy. Naples and Santorini are among my favorite places in the world now.

At the moment, I engineer for a Neo-Vaudeville theatre club in Manhattan. I love what I do, but it hardly seems like work to me.

I'm full of endless amounts of random information. It's probably due to my obsession with history channel documentaries and being a total nerd. I'm totally ready for Z-day, just saying.

I don't look like how I should act.

Archer, Carnivale, random history books and texts examining society and philosophy. History channel.

Food trucks. They're awesome.

How I'm going to write a book about my life. I have stories you wouldn't believe.

Working. It's the price I pay for having a cooler job than 95% of the people on the planet. Also, the bohemian life makes virtually every day my Friday, unless it's Sunday, where way too much stuff is closed... city that never sleeps my ass...

My dogs name is Ron Swanson. Yep. Also, Reddit.

If you have a good story worth sharing or want to get a drink or coffee.
