I love writing, performing and recording music. I have a number of different musical projects and play a variety of instruments.

I'm pretty damn good at cooking when I feel inspired to cook. Unfortunately if I'm JUST cooking because it's dinner time it's hit or miss.

I love concerts, clubs, festivals, fairs, parties and pretty much anywhere I can go out and have a good time. Bars are cool too, but not as exciting as a club or concert. Except maybe on Karaoke night. I do enjoy Karaoke a great deal. I do love video games, but I don't get addicted to them and have never chosen games over hanging out with other people.

You can pretty much take me anywhere. I'll fit in and make friends. I'm highly social and even though I'm a punk rocker at heart I'm not stuck up about it and have no problem hanging with or talking to anyone. I can dress for any occasion. If you give me a good reason to wear a suit I'll get super-excited!

I think it's important to not sweat the small stuff, but also not to shy away from life's challenges.

I love drinking a fine beer or scotch with friends, while talking about how fine that beer or scotch is. I also love brewing beer, but I'm relatively new at it.

Working at a startup in SF, like everyone in SF. The company I work for is great and I hope to be working with them for a long time to come.

I'm making a huge and successful effort to improve my health. I have been overweight my whole life and about a year ago I decided I was done with it. I've been steadily losing weight and getting in shape since. I currently run, swim or lift 6 days a week. At the time of this writing I'm training for my second half-marathon.

Most people probably notice my hair first. It's usually a mohawk, and usually brightly colored. As I write this it's purple with neon pink highlights.

After that, you'll likely notice that I can have a fun and friendly conversation with anyone. I'm quick with a smile and a joke, and can usually walk away from any gathering with a few new buddies or friends.

Books: I tend to like horror, fantasy and the like. Occationally you'll see me reading something about running, but usually some sort of geeky fiction. Favorites are The King in Yellow (Chambers), Millennium Trilogy (Larson) The Dark Tower (King), Lord Of The Rings (Tolkien), The Call of Cthulhu (Lovecraft)

Movies: I love action. I often like cheesy action. I also like horror, crime and mob drama, sci-fi and fantasy, etc. Also anything visually interesting. I'm not big on romantic movies or drama based on relationships. Romantic comedies are right out. Some favorites: Terminator 1 + 2, Robocop, Casino, Labyrinth, The Departed, The Evil Dead trilogy, The Princess Bride, American Psycho, Conan The Barbarian, Black Swan,

Shows: I don't want much TV. When I do it's pretty much in line with my taste in movies. I do like some Adult Swim shows. The X-Files, Firefly, Burn Notice, Fringe, Breaking Bad, Venture Bros. Metalocalypse.

Music: I listen to a LOT of music. The only genres I don't like are Reggae, modern Hip-Hop (90s and before is cool though) and young country. Beyond that, anything from punk to pop to opera is good for me. All time favorites: Nine Inch Nails, Oingo Boing/Danny Elfman, The Birthday Massacre, Peter Gabriel, Dropkick Murphys, Patti Smith, Fields of the Nephilim, KMFDM, Type O Negative, David Bowie, Ministry

Food: sushi, Mexican (both authentic and Americanized), Thai, Indian, BBQ, Creole, pizza and of course you can never go wrong with a well made burger or steak.

A sense of humor

Music and art. The way the world works. People and how they think and behave. Anything that's funny. The qualities of a well crafted brew.

At a concert, having a beer with friends, or writing music. I can go out and party with the best of them, or just hang with a couple friends watching bad movies or chill and work on music. It all depends on what's going on and how I'm feeling.

I'm not sure how to answer this. I don't really keep many secrets.

I like dub step? There's a lot of bad blood between me and cigarettes, so I occasionally try to convince people to quit? I used to play WoW sometimes?

I guess if you have any personal questions feel free to ask. Maybe I'll think of something to put here later.

If you read all the way down here, and you're thinking about messaging me, just go for it.

I'll answer (almost) any question and I'm always up for meeting new people.
