I'm an art aficionado, traveler, food discoverer, cultural specialist. I can always recommend things and places that are under the radar. I've lived in various parts of the country (born in Seattle->grew up in Socal->grad school in Texas->SF-Oak)but am now living in the bay area. I still travel quite often trying to take in all the world has to offer. My last journey was to Turkey. Next up is Chicago this May!

On most occasions I'll be seeing a new exhibit at the museums here and going out with friends for dinner at all the wonderful restaurants in the city.

I work in film and I always try to treat all my experiences in life as material for this medium. I'm one of those people who appreciate all the nuances in the things I see. I've recently been interested in design and am trying to incorporate that in my work as well.

I'm trying to plan out my next destination to travel to. I just got back from Turkey which was a pretty amazing experience. It's definitely where cultures and continents cross paths. Plans in the near future are to see the southern tip of Argentina to see the glaciers there.

remembering details which sometimes becomes a hindrance to telling stories because I never get to the point! People say I'm good at impersonations but don't take my word for it. Along with that I do enjoy pretending to babble in different languages.

is my ability to make people feel at ease and often I somehow seem to resemble someone they know. I just have one of those faces I guess. Recent look-a-like I get is Mac from Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Another one I got was the asian kid who was Stephanie's friend on Full House. See the resemblance?

all the places I need to see in this lifetime.

It's usually dinner or relaxing drinks with good friends.

I secretly enjoy some of Nickelback's songs. I get chastised for it whenever I tell my friends. I know this makes people cringe but I like to see people's reaction.

you like nickelback too or if you want to check out an art exhibit or gallery. I'm just kidding about the Nickelback part. I'd be too much if both of us are into them.
