ABOUT ME

I'm a geeky recent college grad. I grew up in Los Angeles and went to college in New Hampshire (all the way across the USA). I studied computer science, Japanese, and some linguistics. Since then, I've lived in Portland and Pittsburgh.

In college, I was part of a co-educational fraternity called Phi Tau, filled with a variety of wonderfully weird people. I hope to keep that kind of mix of people around me no matter where I end up.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to enjoy good food, good company, and good culture.
