The most important award I've ever received was a yearbook superlative, that being most humorous in 8th Grade. For real, it's on my resume.

I'm kind of a stay in shape type person but I'm also a giant nerd. I play rugby and collect fountain pens. I love to climb and surf, but I really love me some Joseph Campbell. Yes.

Old-timey folk musician at heart. Looking to do more sailing this year and have been exploring new bike routes through the city. Also, I went to yeshiva. Long story.

I'm an environmental campaigner which means I travel a good deal, but I'm pretty ready to be back home in DC and I think I'll be here for the next few months. Very excited for that.

This winter is an interesting winter. I'm taking the DC Bar exam and trying to do less "worky" work. Spending a good deal of time focusing on photography as well. Lately, I've been writing quite a bit outside of work and I'm thinking about starting on that much maligned novel. Also just rediscovered dobro. I love that thing. Always looking for another instrument to add to my collection, but still loving my banjo.

Really bad jokes but sometimes I throw out a good one. Playing sappy songs on various instruments, rugby, movie quotes, doing pull-ups, going to the beach and reading books, banjo, making people happy, gardening, discussing myths, bikes, random legal analysis, dressing up or down, mandolin, Nats games, and being a good brother.

That I'm tall and I have dimples.

Global carrying capacity. Where my food comes from. How I can do more things but still have time for life. The best basketball courts in town.

Not really any typical Friday. Some Fridays I'm writing, some I'm out for a beer, at the gym, watching a movie, and/or playing music.

I secretly love Antiques Roadshow. There, I said it.

You are fun and/or like to have fun. You are kind. You like going on long walks in random places in the city. You think seitan is a funny word. You have an awesome smile. Or you just want to say hello.
