Bike ridin', motorhome drivin', music playin', whiskey drinkin', photo takin', pixel paintin', movie makin', joke tellin', consumerism hatin', internet nerd ginger kid.

I was born in Portland but have spent most of my life elsewheres. I live for exploration, learning, creativity and enriching the lives of others. I have a degree in English so my taste in literature and poetry is pretentious (kidding). My big life goal is to use art, technology and education to further social equality.

Heading back to school to get a masters degree in transmedia art. Developin' the webs for non-profits is the day job.

Learning. Bike riding. Conversing. Attending parties. Traveling. Being a good friend/partner. Making people laugh. Accepting people as they are and not judging them. Practicing compassion. Making art stuffs. Adapting. Having fun. Science. Taking chances.

Before you talk to me: my red hair. After you talk to me: how sincere and forthcoming I am in conversation.

These could be long lists, so I'll do the first 5 that pop into my head.

Facetiously: the internet, language, intimacy, stories, conversation and humor.

The cosmos (I am obsessed with space), music, the future, people that I know, science, various plights and what I am doing/want to do with my life.

With my friends, at a concert, having a beer, making a tasty dinner, working on a creative project, watching a movie or just generally unwinding.

I just got out of an intense polyamorous triad relationship in which the other two partners had a nasty break-up, which really put me in the mood to have a mellow/casual relationship with someone new.

Talk about art, poly or humanitarian stuff. Go to a concert. Drink a beer. Collaborate on a music or movie project. Introduce yourself. Cook up some weird experimental food with me. Teach me something.
