My Self-Summary

I like to keep busy and I am enthusiastic about nature, good music and progressive science. I've lived in 5 different cities over the past 5 years so it's nice to finally settle down for a bit and find my place in Boston. I love rock climbing and climbing mountains when mountains are available. For more creative pursuits I like to play guitar, write music and shoot black and white photography. I collect antique photographs and interesting objects that I find during urban explorations. One of my favorite things to do is go to shows and check out awesome bands.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm a Chicago cycle courier turned biochemist in Boston's vibrant research community. Let's just say that was a positive life decision. Every day in this beautiful city validates my decision to come here.

I’m really good at

Urban cycling and making six strings sing.

The first things people usually notice about me

My disarming smile. Drop your weapons.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I like any books by John Irving, Barbara Kingsolver, and more recently Dave Eggers. I also love Raymond Carver's short story collections.

My favorite film is Wristcutters followed closely by Chasing Amy. Most of my favorite films were written by Kevin Smith or Wes Anderson.

Sonic Youth is most definitely my favorite band...but maybe Hot Rod Circuit too. I also love Ben Harper and his many different bands. I think Glassjaw has written some of the most honest music I have ever heard.

My favorite food used to be sushi but I recently went vegetarian so I guess I'm on a search for a new favorite food. Any suggestions?

The six things I could never do without

my guitars
my bike (pedals not motor)
Nico my awesome dog
mutual attraction
independent music
morning coffee

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Well...my only goal in life is to play in an outlaw country band. Someone will play pedal steel and someone can play a hollow body telecaster and I'll play an old acoustic. We'll write protest songs...and songs about the open road and women that have done us wrong. We'll always make sure to stop by little towns like Boise or Saskatoon or Grand Junction when we're out on tour. We'll have a real rugged name...like...oh I don't know...it will be rugged though. And we'll all have beards and tatoos and stories.

On a typical Friday night I am

Hanging out with friends at Publik House or checking out a show at one of Boston's many fine venues! Great Scott is my favorite venue in town.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I once drove from Boulder to Boston in a car with no radio. I'm not sure that's very private but there was a lot of zen-like thinking time on that trip.

You should message me if

You found my profile intriguing. Also it would help if you weren't too shy to meet in real life...sometimes this connection via the wires is just too impersonal.
