I am charming, visceral, and legal.

My Self-Summary

I'm 33 and living in Los Angeles. I have two degrees, one in journalism and the other in architecture, yet find that personality gets me a lot farther in life.

I have a band. I have a job. I have my own transportation. I think that eliminates most of the "don't write me if you don't..." provisos. All of my pictures depict me with my shirt on.

I generally romanticize the mid-century period, from the '20s to the early '60s, while conveniently forgetting some of its limitations and the prejudices that governed the mores of the time. But it was nice in the sense that certain things were clear - people knew how to dress for the occasion. That one really comes to mind.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

How I got from there to here, and how I can steer things back on course,...or, alternately, how to make my predetermined fate seem more like a brilliant idea I once had, now realized with utter perfection.

Buildings, and the spaces between them.

Salt and string.

Whether or not meeting my female doppelganger would rip a hole in the universe, and whether or not that hole would be filled with unicorns.

On a typical Friday night I am

Looking for more trouble than I generally find.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I am neither wealthy nor famous. Yet.

You should message me if

You like expeditions to see bizarre slices of Americana such as the world's biggest ball of twine, open-pit mine, rattlesnake farm, etc.

You have a healthy respect for the English language.

You like to be a little bit fancy and you like your man to be a little bit fancy, too.

You don't believe there is any such thing as "background music."

You yearn for the days when cars had opera-glass smoking windows, acres of chrome, and the doors thudded shut with real menace.

You approach each of your pursuits with a "little bit of uh-huh and a whole lot of oh yeah."

You fantasize that someday your lover will pick up your rotary telephone and tell the person on the other end of the line, with a knowing expression on his face, that you are "all tied up."
