I’m equal parts Coloradan and Californian, outdoorsman and geek, little kid and old soul. I live life to the fullest and rarely allow myself to waste time. I believe in honesty, loyalty, silver linings, and dinosaurs.

Last August I moved away from the Bay Area after 11 amazing years. I'm sad to see it go, but excited to see what LA has to offer.

As if that wasn't enough change, in February I left what I thought was my dream job at Disney to try my hand at startup life. So far it has been an intense, challenging, and incredibly rewarding experience. So much so that I don't think I'll ever look back...

Preparing a gourmet Trader Joe's dinner.
Planning weekend getaways.
Rallying a drinking game.
Ignoring my phone.
Street Fighter.
Daydreaming.

I'm also really BAD at

Knowing any celebrity gossip... I doubt LA will change that.
Playing dating "games." Don't expect me to wait exactly 3 days.
Golf

Honestly. Probably the veins in my arms. Weird, right? I promise I don't use steroids.

Second is probably my sarcastic sense of humor or my peg-leg.

I love "good" movies: Braveheart, Crash, A Simple Man, Baraka, Into The Wild, The Dark Knight, Up
And cheesy ones: The Dark Crystal, Goonies, Neverending Story

I love non-fiction: "Hot, Flat & Crowded," "Freakonomics," "Fast Food Nation"
And any fiction I make time to read: "Kavalier and Clay," "Atlas Shrugged," "The Watchmen," "You Shall Know Our Velocity"

I listen to just about any music, but lately my Pandora stations have started with Arcade Fire, Two Door Cinema Club, Florence & The Machine, and Foster the People

You're a genuinely nice guy who isn't afraid of a little adventure.
