I moved out to Los Angeles from Colorado back '02 and I'm still amazed by the number of new things I can come across every day around here. I'm not the "typical LA guy", but I would also never really think to categorize myself as a typical anything, let alone a typical guy.

I'm a military brat, so I've had the chance to live all over the world and do a good deal of traveling. I have a degree in Business and a degree in Journalism, but I am most content performing improv up on stage with my friends.

I know it sounds dorky, but my life goal is to be a Renaissance Man...so that means learn as much as I can and try as many things as I can while I'm at it. So, I have a long list of things I want to learn how to do, and I am constantly trying to get at them!

Most recently I started taking salsa lessons (not sure how in the world I'm supposed to remember half of these moves when I am actually out on a dance floor), and I just got my M1 license...as in motorcycle license. And...as an update to my profile here...I just bought a new motorcycle and have been riding around practicing not stalling when going from idle into first...especially when sitting in a left turn lane at a major intersection...with a bunch of cars waiting to go behind me...not that that has happened or anything...that was a hypothetical scenario.

well...I'm living it...and enjoying it!

improv! And proud of it. steveimprov.com Oh, and I am pretty good at cooking as well....and flying a kite....and sweeping....I'm also pretty amazing at one-hand-clapping.

I look like John Cusack.

Books: (authors really) Stephen King, David Sedaris, Douglas Adams, Really eclectic taste though (currently reading American Lion: The Andrew Jackson story). I realized the best way to explain my eclectic taste is to list some of the most recent books I enjoyed: Water For Elephants. Life of Pi, Just After Sunset, The Giver, The Last Lecture

For music I have a pretty eclectic taste...I listen to pretty much everything except heavy metal. Country can get a bit repetitive for me as well. Once again...the last couple of bands I just listened to on my iTunes list: Billie Holiday, Common, Mozart, the Decemberists, MGMT, Sara Bareilles...

For food....I like it. I like to cook it and I like to eat it. I'm an omnivore, so I don't have gag reflexes to greens like some I know, but I also enjoy a good steak.

For movies, my list is too long. I'm one of those who hates the question "What's your favorite movie?" I don't have a favorite...but that doesn't mean I don't have an opinion. :-) I happen to teach editing...so I definitely have an opinion. I do happen to like many of the films written/directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (as in Amelie, City of Lost Children, Delicatessen), Galaxy Quest, Gattaca, Sabrina (the newer one...sorry), His Girl Friday (this is a MUST see! So good!)

At home either watching a movie, surfing the web, writing, or performing improv. It really depends who I'm hanging out with or if I have work in the morning.

I love spell check...and need it.

Any of these things ring true. Or you just want to say hi.
