You know how they say that there's never a first chance to make a second impression? Wait, strike that, reverse it.

Yeah, so I'm Punk_Jr. World traveler, Imaging Director, aspiring voice actor, Amazing Race hopeful and multi-genre geek galore.

I call Seattle home right now. I'm a former cheerleader for the Rat City Rollergirls & HUGE derby fan. I talk about roller derby on the "Derby Deeds Podcast" every week. I love going to see movies, playing Rock Band, singing karaoke & waiting in line for books or movies to be released.

I am geeky, driven, and content

I started out as an intern for the Andy Savage Show back when 96.5 was K-Rock... Now I'm the Imaging & Creative Services Director for 96.5 Jack-FM!

I get to make the station sound great, every day.

I'm very determined to make a living with my voice, and this step is exactly where I want to be. It's so fun to be doing something that I'm really passionate about.

I am a gigantic roller derby fan... I'm excited that there is so much great derby here in the Seattle area, from Rat City to Jet City, Tilted Thunder & beyond. I host a weekly podcast where we talk about derby around the world!

I'm an unabashed geek. I love Star Wars & Harry Potter, I am a member of the 501st Legion & have a Quidditch Ref costume. I play video games & D&D. I have a huge passion for movies and love seeing them on the big screen, but I also really enjoy crashing out & playing on the 360 for hours. Sci-Fi tends to own me, so I am often found watching Dexter, Person of Interest, Castle or old episodes of Firefly.

Public speaking, softball, hard bass in Rock Band, keeping my friends out of trouble and being the guy you come to when you need help with anything.

I also make a REALLY good grilled cheese sandwich.

I'm really tall & I've always got a grin.

Books - The Count of Monte Cristo, American Psycho, The Harry Potter Series, anything by Stephen King, James Patterson & the occasional "For Dummies" instructional guide.

Movies - There are SO many... Star Wars & The Empire Strikes Back, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Harry Potter movies, Donnie Darko & Equilibrium are just a few. I love the standard guy trio: action, mystery & thrillers...

Music - If I could only listen to one band for the rest of my life, it would be AC/DC, but since I don't have to worry about that right now, I'll also take a little of the following:

Stevie Wonder, Marilyn Manson, NIN, Duran Duran, INXS, Gwen Stefani, Metallica, The Beatles, Tom Petty & Queen. Working at a radio station is probably the best thing for me, since I can listen to just about anything I want to...

Food - My single favorite food item is a good Mac & Cheese, followed closely by a good spaghetti carbonara. However, since eating the same thing all the time gets REALLY boring, I like to spice it up with anything Italian, a little Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Sushi, and the Burger King Whopper™... *laugh*

Pirates. I'm a HUGE pirate fanatic. September 19th is one of my favorite days of the year! I've had recurring dreams about pirates ever since I was in 2nd grade. The dreams themselves are always different, but the one constant is the sails of the pirate ship. Red & white vertical stripes every time.

Also, whatever book I'm reading, what movies are coming out this weekend, what will I do this weekend, who I'm going to hang out with, what I need to do at work tomorrow, The usual stuff.

It's so varied. My friends and I like to go to Bathtub Gin or the Rabbit Hole to drink & hang out, but I'm also always up for a good karaoke night or chilling at home playing video games. If a good movie is opening up, I'm often found waiting in line out at the Cinerama or Boeing IMAX Theater.

I lost my virginity in a tree stand overlooking a field in Germany with hikers walking below us.

If you think Pirates are better than Ninjas and laugh out loud at Robot Chicken or Kyle Kinane you should send me a message, because that would be rad.
