Originally from parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, I relocated to the Bay Area for school two years ago. I completed my History degree and decided to stick around San Francisco for awhile. Writing interests me most profession wise, but I'd also like to be a librarian at a boat house library or a Radio DJ in late 70's Los Angeles or early 60's Detroit.

Listening to music is my number one hobby and talking about music is my number two. I can make six strings sound like semi-concordant music, which is a skill I've plugged away on for the past decade. I'm always trying to find good music to enjoy and share with people.

My concern for the plight of labor in the United States.

I'm always trying to read more. My favorite author is Charles Bukowski and I love David Sedaris. Lately I've been bringing either As I Lay Dying by Faulkner or The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Murakami with me on bus rides.

My favorite films are Sixteen Candles, Casablanca, High Fidelity, Buffalo '66, and Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. There are very few films that I don't enjoy. Please don't think I'm undiscerning, just know I'm easy to please with films.

All music questions should be directed to my Last.FM profile or to me through message:

Making a mixtape or out drinking somewhere.

I am terrified of dying underwater.

You want to keep me from dying underwater.
