About Me

no one knows all the things i’ve been but me. and no one needs to know. i have been a lover, a child, a sage, a mute, a fighter, a philosopher, an idiot, a saint and a real motherfucker. i am all the things i’ve ever been, all the time, and every day has the possibility of destruction and resurrection. of it all burning to the ground. and of it all recovering again when i’m not looking.

i’ve traveled in 23 countries and subscribe to magazines like GOOD, The Week, Psychology Today, Fast Company, and my favorite site on the entire internet is TED.com. My favorite authors are Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Stefan Sagmeister, and any story told by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean.

i prefer cider to beer, cadbury to hershey’s, the bus to the train, and i often boycott new year’s eve parties and opt instead for a night with the Neo-Futurists. one year i painted a mural of Hokusai’s The Great Wave Off Kanagawa in my apartment. i’m trying to learn Portuguese and take French lessons with my dad. i was an extremely nerdy kid and i still love dinosaurs and coloring books.
