I'm from a small town in central Wisconsin and I earned my degree in the northwoods on the South shore of Lake Superior. I am shy and mild mannered but once a threshold level of familiarity is reached I can be rather extroverted though in general I am a rather introverted person who often needs solitude.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into all sorts of different music, everything from Folk to Funk, but a few of my favorites at the moment include Andrew Bird, Devendra Barnhart, John Fruciante, Buddy Guy, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Keys, That One Guy, Jimi Hendrix and the entire British Invasion and lots of wide ranging world music. As far as movies go I love everything Wes Anderson and Hayao Miyazaki. I enjoy reading the poetry of the beat generation and ancient spiritual verses of writers such as Rumi, Kabir and Mirabi.
