CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, make things, and have more campfires

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly nature lover/creative type/total nerd. In love with music, nature, puzzle solving, and all kinds of storytelling. I enjoy the outdoors, live music, quoting Anchorman, making things, exploring, learning, bad puns, costume parties, meeting kindred spirits, and finding places that are a little bit magical.

I'm in the process of settling down after nearly a year travelling around Scotland and North America.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a wide variety of music. A few of my favorites are Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch Nails, Gogol Bordello, the Dropkick Murphys, Tool, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Nick Cave, Calexico, John Butler Trio, I could go on forever there...

A love reading fiction, non-fiction and graphic novels (I just love stories really). Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors. Also a big fan of Terry Pratchett, Juliet Marillier, Alex Garland and Hunter S. Thompson. Oh and I grew up with Lord of Rings as my bedtime story so I'm definitely a Tolkien fan (from way back before it was cool).

Movies, I have a soft spot for Tarantino, Miyazaki and most black comedies. I also love old-school fantasy like the Princess Bride.
