Originally from the East Coast, I moved to California seven years ago for a job in software engineering. I am a very easy-going person, smart, my humor is often sarcastic, but I mean well.
I am kind of a nerd... I'm really into technology, sailing, mechanics, and photography.

I just quit my job as an engineering manager and software architect at large tech company in the south bay to run a company with a friend of mine. My new company is a lot of fun, merging my two greatest passions: food/drink; and technology.

Fixing Things
Understanding People
Finding North
Explaining Technical Things To Non-Technical people
Code

My favorite author is Haruki Murakami.

I love good food, especially sushi, wine, art... I'm really into music. I actually dabbled in music production for a short while when I first came to California.

Music I like (I can never keep this up-to-date): Yo La Tengo, Spoon, Nirvana, Andrew Bird, Babyshambles, Manu Chao, The Cure, Brazilian Girls, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, The Notwist, Elliot Smith, Paul Simon, The Smiths, T. Rex, Beck, Sonic Youth, The Beatles, The Bees, Pavement, MGMT, Iron & Wine, The Clash, Radiohead, Cat Power, The Arcade Fire, Vinyl, Wilco, Neutral Milk Hotel
