Ok, it's never easy to write about yourself, but I'll give it a shot. I was born and raised in "the OC" but sadly, my experience was nothing like that of the characters on the tv show. I come from an almost disturbingly normal family, and I'm the black sheep who moved up to LA to work in the film industry. Movies are a huge passion of mine, and have been for as long as I can remember. I was always known as the shy kid growing up, but thankfully I've shed that reputation, and I now love meeting and talking to new people, which I guess is part of the reason I'm on here. I love making people laugh, and I try not to take myself or life that seriously, so more often than not I end up being the comic relief in situations. My humor can be sarcastic from time to time (read: all the time), but I try to be as genuine and caring in my relationships as possible.

I work in the film industry, in development, trying to work my way up the ladder. A lot of my time is focused on my job/career, but I'm definitely a person who stops to smell the roses as often as possible.

Making people laugh, and making them feel comfortable. I try to be as down to earth and honest as I can be.

Physically I guess it would be my smile, but soon after I open my mouth, it's usually my sarcasm that people notice.

Books: Catcher in the Rye, 1984, anything by Chuck Palahniuk, Is This Game Great or What?
