I can be very high-brow and then easily downgrade to low-brow. I enjoy a night at the symphony, art museums, seeing plays, drinking good wine, going out for a film, etc. On the other end of the spectrum I enjoy dancing all night at the raves and clubs, drinking PBR down by a creek with a bonfire going, hanging out with friends making incredibly strange humor, watching good-bad movies, and various other forms of hanging out. I'm an introvert until I get to know you, then I'm the extrovert my friends all know and love.

I live alone with my cat, have my own car, pay my own bills, handle my own business, etc. Graduated college in '06 from Webster U with an Audio Engineering degree. Since then I've been working locally in St. Louis. I love living here but someday hope to spend a few years living out west if I can ever get that plan in order. Seems like I'm working more on Plan B of becoming a homeowner instead.

I'm currently lead technician at COCA, running sound and/or lights for our shows as well as various behind the scenes stuff that I can make sound glamorous. I LOVE my job, being a part the backstage magic has been very rewarding and so much fun. I work elsewhere for other random concerts/shows/productions whenever I can.
As for my biggest hobby: I've been a DJ and promoter specializing in Techno since I was 15. Bought my first turntables in 1995 then I moved to St. Louis for college and began an infamous DJ career in the midwest. Nowadays I do club gigs here and there, either throwing events or DJing at them. I also tinker at home with my keyboard and various software based production equipment to produce my own music.

Making people laugh. Finding interesting music. Dancing. Mixing. Listening. Making sure the sound system is proper. Applying low-end frequencies. Weeding out bad people.

Everyone who cards me says I can't really be that old. That usually cheers me up. Otherwise... my charming personality? And I'm told I have beautiful eyes and a great taste in music. I don't know really, ask everyone else what they notice. I go by what I'm told to avoid ego trips.

Music
People (Friends and Family)

The Internet, that damn internet
Something or someone to laugh at/with
Living in a city any less exciting as St. Louis

how I wish I had more time to travel. I recently spent 9 days in the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone and am already needing another vacation. I'm hoping to get out to the west coast again. I also need to see the Pacific Northwest, both ends of Canada, and can think of a few dozen other places I need to visit internationally.

On Friday and Saturday nights I'm either hanging out with friends, working a show then going out, or staying in on the couch with a movie or a book. Honestly, my Tuesday nights feel like a normal person's Saturday night.

When I get my first tattoo it will be Calvin and Hobbes.
