I'm a chef, working in San Francisco. I came from the mountains, but am really a product of the world due to extensive travel. I have an avid love for tattooing, piercing, bikes, darts, pool, and cooking.

I tend to cook a lot. When I'm not cooking I'm enjoying whiskey, beer, wine, sports, walking the city, music (particularly live), Clement St., Chinatown, North Beach, or any of the things mentioned above. I love going out to eat, and do so with some frequency. I am working towards opening a couple restaurants, but not sure when that will happen. Maybe 2-3 years out.

A lot of things. I enjoy being critical. I make killer analogies. I can tell jokes to strangers. I can find my way home from anywhere, with nothing.

Dimples. Tattoos? SF hat (I am working on growing out of it).

Obviously a very difficult question to answer, so I'll be brief.

Music:
Everything. Predominately blues, metal, hip-hop, electronic, but really anything.

Books:
LOTS of food stuff, plus a lot of Sci-Fi futuristic stuff. When I was younger and a lot angrier I only read non-fiction, but branching out is always good.

Movies:
Layer Cake, Pulp Fiction, Irreversible, Ichi The Killer, Stand By Me, more, more and more.

Shows:
The Wire
Louie
SportsCenter
Sports

Food:
Pho
Pork

Making my life something notable.
All kinds of stuff.

Working in the restaurant, then avoiding the bar scene. Just a side effect of the business. I like to just shoot the shit over beers, but not out. Somewhere cozy, preferably with good company.

Anything. Ask away, I have no shame.

You want to. I don't like to tell anyone they should do anything.
