Midwest transplant to California. Professional video editor. Been in LA 5 years and love it. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else at this time in my life.

I'm a film nerd, mid-century modern architecture-phile, foodie, amateur vegan chef, craft beer snob, NPR junkie, political junkie, photographer, optimist and bicycle evangelist.

Great question! I'm a video editor.

When I'm not working, I like to travel. I visited China in February, which was a lot of fun. Most of my travels however are short jaunts like San Fran, Palm Springs or Catalina. I have a thing for hotel bars.

Although it does say in my details that I work in entertainment/media, I'm not a struggling or starving artist. Those days are happily behind me.

Bar trivia, photography, impressing people visiting LA from out of town, quoting Arrested Development, doing brunch,

Hmm, I'm tall I guess. And my sarcasm.

I'm a big movie buff so I watch everything. Foreign films, docs, I like challenging stuff but that doesn't mean I don't like big American movies. Like I said I watch everything.

TV: Veep, House of Cards, Arrested Development, Game of Thrones, Archer, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Louie, 30 Rock, Daily Show and Colbert. Sometimes trash TV (junk food) is fun.

I listen to a lot of podcasts: Doug Loves Movies, Comedy Bang Bang, Dinner Party Download, How Did This Get Made?, Unfictional, This American Life, Cashing in with TJ Miller, Stuff You Should Know, Fresh Air (Terri Gross is the best interviewer of our generation).

I'm a meat eater but I really like vegetarian and vegan food. I love tacos, craft beer, ice cream. I often find food from trucks is mediocre but I'm game for pretty much anything.

Movies, online news, Evernote, podcasts, Mexican food, my camera

My love/hate relationship with KCRW.

Staying in. Going out.

Seeing a movie.

At The 101 Coffee Shop.

Hmmm, this is a hard one: I'm a huge nerd.

I don't leave the east side very often.

I haven't played video games since the George W Bush administration*.

*iPhone doesn't count.
