Hello, and thanks for clicking on my face! I've got a heart of 24 karat gold and am looking to meet someone special so I can delete this profile. That's all for now, thanks for playing!

I'm in publishing. I've worked as a tabloid newspaper reporter, a men's magazine editor and helped launch a groundbreaking news app for tablets, among other things. Don't act like you're not impressed.

Making you laugh, telling stories, kickstarting dance parties, being a sweetheart, snuggling, playing impeccable sets on dive bar jukeboxes, killing it at karaoke, cleaning my plate, cooking in a skillet, downing large numbers of raw oysters, showing you around coney island and new orleans, being awesome.

The mime that i hired to follow me everywhere i go.

LISTS!

what i like to read: donald ray pollock, junot diaz, bukowski, wells tower, nytimes, nypost, new yorker, nymag. rock and roll bios and oral histories. really liked "please kill me."

music: Spotify on my headphones every day, but a sampling: kurt vile, pavement, guided by voices, townes van zandt, harry nilsson, steve earle, neko case, bad brains, springsteen, stones, replacements, jack white, johnny cash, misfits, joy division, black flag, old school rap, gritty '60s R&B, yacht rock, old country, zydeco, bluegrass, the punk rock of my youth...basically anything that's good.

movies: super into documentaries, but....apocalypse now, crimes and misdemeanors, 24 hour party people, there will be blood, grizzly man, rushmore, welcome to the dollhouse, anchorman, raging bull, the big lebowski, drive, django unchained, step brothers, goodfellas, little children, the last waltz, hoop dreams, american splendor, herzog......NETFLIX

tv and the radio: wnyc. wtf with marc maron. this american life. wait wait don't tell me. garrison keillor. breaking bad. eastbound and down. sopranos. friday night lights. american experience. lydia bastianich's cooking show on pbs. boxing on hbo. bar rescue. i'll watch too much tv when given the chance.

i was actually a guest on anthony bourdain's show once. this is a scientific fact.

food: raw bar, maryland blue crabs, vietnamese pho, burgers, korean, bbq, authentic mex, sriracha on everything, szechuan, sandwiches, super spicy stuff. I like to cook, too. Usually something simple like blackened catfish, skirt steak, old bay chicken.....don't worry, i always cook something green on the side, even if it's mold!

My family, my friends, good times, beautiful moments, leisurely dinners, laughs.

How i can get into clown college

Either out eating and drinking with friends or watching movies on NetFlix and cooking at home.

I was once paid to write an "adult board game."
I used to sell Craftmatic Adjustable Beds (yes, the ones on TV). I'm actually 40.

You think I seem interesting and would like to meet for drinks and/or be in a montage with me.
